"Cyber Network Security" Course Overview

Data could be considered the most valuable asset both in our personal lives and in business. For this reason, data is highly susceptible to security attacks.

The more data you store online, the more you and your business are at risk – almost no one is safe from cybersecurity threats. A hacker attack occurs every 39 seconds, affecting one in three people every year.¹

However, most breaches and data exposure occur due to human error and intentional misconduct. Two very common scenarios are:

1. An employee downloads an infected file, spreading malware into the corporate network and causing the leak of private or confidential information.
2. An employee threatens their organization out of boredom or spite by clicking on a malicious link.

Therefore, any threat mitigation tool or sophisticated firewall will be ineffective without creating awareness and a better understanding of best practices through cyber literacy.

In this context, training your IT staff is an effective way to help enforce security policies. This reduces the risk of being compromised because of employee carelessness. Students will get an overview of the key principles of cybersecurity in the Cyber Network Security course and learn about different threats, regulations, and ethical considerations pertaining to cybersecurity.
