Cybersecurity Capstone Project I - Security Assessment and Risk Mitigation (Part of SCTP)
About this course
Course objectives
This capstone project requires learners to apply the skills acquired throughout the course by conducting a comprehensive Security assessment on a simulated or real-world enterprise environment. Learners will identify, analyse and assess the risk exposure of the security vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or web applications, using appropriate tools and techniques.
At the end of the project, learners will produce documentations onA risk assessment of the vulnerabilities discovered - Prioritized remediation strategiesRecommended countermeasures (e.g., patches, configuration changes, security controls)A mitigation plan aligned with best practices (e.g., NIST, CIS, OWASP)
This capstone project is part of the (SCTP) Certificate in Cybersecurity Incident Investigator programme, supported by Cyber Security Agency of Singapore and CyberSG Talent, Innovation and Growth (TIG) Collaboration Centre under the SG Cyber Professionals initiative.
