Cutting through AI hype. Professor Foster A. Scotland explains what AI actually is — in practical terms for IT and security professionals. Covers generative AI, predictive AI, automation AI, and where these tools already exist in your workflow.

Every cybersecurity career starts with understanding the network. In this lesson, Professor Foster A. Scotland breaks down TCP/IP, ports, firewalls, and network segmentation — the foundational knowledge every SOC analyst needs on day one.

Starting in IT? Professor Foster A. Scotland breaks down the four layers of the IT stack — hardware, operating systems, applications, and networks — and shows you how to use this model for troubleshooting.

Go hands-on with a simulated security incident. Professor Foster A. Scotland walks you through a complete incident response — from SIEM alert to post-incident report — covering all six phases: preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned.
