Capstone Ideas to validate an advanced course in Cybersecurity

 potential capstone project ideas for a cybersecurity advanced level training:

  1. Design and implement a secure enterprise network for a fictitious company, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, VPN, and access controls.

  2. Conduct a security assessment of a real-world organization, including a risk assessment, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing, and provide recommendations for improving their security posture.

  3. Design and implement a security operations center (SOC) for a large organization, including security information and event management (SIEM) and incident response procedures.

  4. Conduct a forensic investigation of a cybercrime, such as a data breach or malware attack, and provide a detailed report on the findings and recommendations for preventing similar incidents in the future.

  5. Develop and implement a disaster recovery plan for a large organization, including backup and recovery procedures, offsite storage, and testing and validation of the plan.

  6. Conduct a red team exercise to test the security posture of a real-world organization, simulating an attack and identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system.

  7. Develop and implement a secure software development life cycle (SDLC) for a software development organization, including threat modeling, code review, and security testing.

  8. Design and implement a secure cloud infrastructure for a fictitious company, including data encryption, access controls, and security monitoring and logging.

  9. Develop and implement a security awareness and training program for a large organization, including training materials, phishing simulations, and metrics to measure the effectiveness of the program.

  10. Conduct a comparative analysis of different security technologies or solutions, such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, or endpoint protection systems, and provide recommendations for selecting the most appropriate solution for a specific use case.
