04 Practical Exercises
In this lesson, we will put theory into practice through practical activities. Click on the elements below to check each exercise and develop practical skills that will help you succeed in the subject.
Identification of Common Cybersecurity Threats
For this exercise, we recommend that you analyze the different types of common threats that may be present in your daily life, considering cybersecurity concepts in general, including malware, phishing, and ransomware that can affect the networks in your real environment. Create a document where you explain the impact of these threats on your life. Additionally, we invite you to propose your strategies and best practices for mitigating the risks associated with these threats in that document.
Designing a Secure Network Architecture
In this exercise, we invite you to create a secure network architecture for a fictitious organization. Here, you can identify possible vulnerabilities and threats, and then propose appropriate security solutions to protect the network. Consider factors such as firewall configurations, access controls, intrusion detection systems, and network segmentation to create a comprehensive network security plan.
Creating a Data Protection Policy
To conclude the practical exercises section, we invite you to develop a data protection policy for a company. In this document, describe the guidelines and procedures used to protect confidential data. Identify the types of data that need protection, define the roles and responsibilities of employees, and establish protocols for data encryption, secure storage, and access control. Finally, consider privacy regulations and compliance requirements to ensure that the policy complies with legal and industry standards.
