People who want to gain a better understanding of cybersecurity
Why learn
Cyber Security is one of the most cutting-edge professional fields, and it is constantly evolving. This course will provide a wide overview of Cyber Security concepts and practices as well as a broad overview of security more generally. The approach is largely technical and will address important notions of security and best practices. The purpose of an intrusion can be to change or delete resources (data, programs, hardware, etc), to get unauthorized access to confidential information or unauthorized use of the system's services. These courses cover threats and vulnerabilities as well as rules, methods, and mechanisms for protection.
Pre-requisites
There is no pre-requisite to take this course aside from having basic computer skills. Knowledge of operating systems (Linux and Windows) fundamentals helps to accelerate the process but is not mandatory. We will go over aspects of these fundamentals when necessary. Having basic programming experience also helps, but is not mandatory as we will build upon principles from the start.
