Cybersecurity Data Science training

This hands-on, comprehensive skill path covers everything from the fundamentals of cybersecurity data science to the state of the art. Among many other practical lessons, you will be setting up a cybersecurity lab, constructing classifiers to detect malware, utilizing deep learning technology and even hacking security systems with the help of machine learning — all taught by an award-winning expert in the field of cybersecurity data science.

Learning path components

Cybersecurity Data Science Project

In this project, you’ll analyze a malware sample using classifiers provided in the project files — or with ones you build yourself. You’ll begin by creating a virtual machine for the project and exporting its image in the OVA format, then extract the list of imports and identify the most commons 4-grams in the binary sequence in the Jigsaw ransomware sample. You’ll recognize images created with deepfakes and determine text in a large number of CAPTCHA images.
