Cybersecurity Essentials III & IV
In this course, you will assess the vulnerability of and apply basic protections for the network, operating systems, and endpoints. The knowledge and skills that you will learn will help you to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of your network and your data. You will also learn about different ways to monitor your network and how to evaluate alerts that you receive. You will delve into the tools and techniques used to protect your network, including access control, firewalls, cloud security, and cryptography. These monitoring and defense tools, along with others, work together to create a layered defense-in-depth cybersecurity strategy. The knowledge and skills that you learn will help you defend networks against many types of attacks and quickly react to any exploits that may occur.
You will learn vital skills like threat intelligence, network security, and risk management to protect yourself and organizations from cyber-attacks. If you enjoy solving puzzles, are passionate about technology, and like working in teams, the field of cybersecurity may be a great fit for you!
***Please note that there will be no classes on July 1 and the August long weekend.
