Fundamentals of Information Systems Security
A structured open-source curriculum covering the full security lifecycle — from the CIA triad to penetration testing and incident response.
9
chapters
A complete progression from fundamentals to operational security.
7
case studies
Real incidents make attack paths and defensive lessons concrete.
5
framework guides
Industry references connect the curriculum to workplace practice.
01 / Visual evidence
Screenshots and workflow
Curriculum map
A chapter-based learning path connects fundamentals, labs, frameworks, and case studies.
Lab evidence format
Exercises and quizzes turn each security concept into a repeatable practice loop.
02 / System design

Foundations
- CIA triad
- Risk and governance
- Identity and access
Practice
- Kali Linux labs
- Nmap / Wireshark
- Metasploit exercises
Evidence
- Case studies
- Policy templates
- Chapter quizzes
The course repository is structured as a learning system: concepts establish context, labs create evidence, and frameworks connect practice to industry language.
Evidence
Sanitized report
Public curriculum audit snapshot. No student submissions, private notes, or machine-specific details are included.
REPOSITORY: open educational curriculum
EVIDENCE: labs, quizzes, frameworks, templates
REDACTION: learner identity and lab host details removed03 / Verification
Testing methodology
Map learning outcomes
Organized the material from security fundamentals to applied testing and response so each chapter has a clear purpose.
Pair theory with practice
Added Kali Linux labs, command-line exercises, quizzes, and case studies to make concepts observable.
Audit for professional relevance
Cross-checked terminology and coverage against Security+, CISSP, SSCP, GSEC, NIST, MITRE, ISO, OWASP, and PCI DSS domains.
04 / Ownership
What I personally contributed
Clear ownership matters in security work. These are the decisions and deliverables I directly handled for this project.
- Authored and maintained the curriculum repository and its learning progression.
- Designed the chapter, lab, quiz, case-study, and policy-template formats.
- Researched and translated security frameworks into practical learner guidance.
- Kept the material version-controlled, openly accessible, and aligned to certification domains.
