Hello my name is Bassam Alkaff and I have worked in the field of I.T. for more than 15 years.

2
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:32,120
I specialize in networking and information security and hold several certifications such as CCDP CCNP
2

3
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,730
in routing and switching, security, service provider,VCP, and ITILv3.
3

4
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:49,710
I have trained in I.T. training centres like APTECH, New Horizons, ExecuTrain, and Ultimate-STC. It is estimated
4

5
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:57,510
that there will be about 1.5 million unfilled jobs in cyber security by the year 
5

6
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:58,670
2020.
6

7
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:06,000
A more recent statistic increased this number for cyber security unfilled jobs to be 3.5
7

8
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,310
million by the year 2021.

00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:18,840
In addition, recent article highlights Cisco Systems intention to become a cyber security force.
9

10
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:27,270
For these reasons, Cisco created the CCNA Cyber Ops certification, which can become one of the most certifications
10

11
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,150
in demand in the near future.
11

12
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:37,590
Furthermore, Cisco created a scholarship program for this certification, which emphasis its importance. 
12

13
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,180
In this course you will learn about the tools that you can use for your study of the CCNA Cyber Ops certification
13

14
00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:56,530
Learning the theory side is important, but the hands on side is more important, since the main purpose
14

15
00:01:56,530 --> 00:02:00,250
of your study is to apply your knowledge in production, and
15

16
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:09,480
since your hands on will enforce your theory knowledge. You can not teach someone how to drive a car by 
16

17
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,330
showing him or her how to do it, but you have to let him try and practice how to do that.
17

18
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,430
Furthermore, showing you hands on labs and how to use tools without teaching you how to create these labs
18

19
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,320
and install these tools, might not give you the ultimate benefit from your study.
19

20
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:37,590
For this reason, I have created this course to teach you how to
20

21
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:44,700
create your own home labs, and to understand the core usage and important features of the tools used in them.
21

22
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:52,980
I believe in the saying: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and
22

23
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:55,280
you feed him for a lifetime.
23

24
00:02:57,990 --> 00:03:03,850
If you have access to online labs, such as that offered by Cisco through their scholarship
24

25
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:11,210
you still need to know how to create your own home labs to continue practicing and experimenting.
25

26
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:15,620
which is what this course will help you to achieve.
26

27
00:03:15,730 --> 00:03:23,050
On the other hand, this course will prepare you to go through these online labs quickly, and with confidence,
27

28
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:30,670
since you will be familiar with the tools used in them.  And not just online labs, but any other hands
28

29
00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:32,890
on Cyber Ops courses.
29

30
00:03:32,950 --> 00:03:37,300
like what I intend to publish in the near future.
30

31
00:03:40,030 --> 00:03:44,280
This course will teach you how to use the following tools:
31

32
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:53,520
1.Security Onion 2.Wireshark 3. Kali Linux 4. Metasploit 5. Nmap 6. VirtualBox and 7. GNS3.

33
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:01,140
I hope that you will join me in this course and start your Cyber security journey. Happy learning!
