In this course, you will learn the basics of information security and how to apply information security principles to your home environment or organization, regardless of its size.

Information security, sometimes shortened to infosec, is the practice of protecting information by mitigating information risks. It is part of information risk management. It typically involves preventing or at least reducing the probability of unauthorized/inappropriate access, use, disclosure, disruption, deletion/destruction, corruption, modification, inspection, recording or devaluation, although it may also involve reducing the adverse impacts of incidents.

Nikola is OWASP chapter and project leader and has been teaching on several reputable Universities over the past 5 years. I have also published scientific papers on malware analysis. Now he wants to share this knowledge with you and help you develop your career!
