Python is one of the most popular and widely-used programming languages in the world due to its high usability and large collection of libraries. This learning path provides an application-driven introduction to using Python for cybersecurity. Python can help to automate tasks across the cyberattack life cycle for both cyber attackers and defenders. This Specialization demonstrates some of these applications and how Python can be used to make cybersecurity professionals more efficient and effective.
Learners will acquire the technical skills needs to develop custom Python scripts to automate cybersecurity tasks. The challenges in this project involve developing or modifying Python code to address cybersecurity use cases drawn from MITRE ATT&CK and Shield.
