Admission into the Cybersecurity and Threat Management Program.
This course introduces students to what and who ethical hackers are, how they are different from "non-ethical hackers", and why/how they are essential for protecting data from cyber-attacks. Students will look closely at the different types of tests that can be conducted by "ethical hackers" to assess the readiness of an organization's system to withstand cyber-attacks. The course also investigates the methods and tools used in cyber-attacks and their countermeasures, as well as available security resources that every organization needs to possess to be able to counter the different cyber-attack "types". This will equip the students with the knowledge and techniques to successfully consider the different methods of combating hackers and cyber-attacks.
Ancillary fees will be added at checkout and will vary based on the number of courses selected. For details on how the fees are calculated, please refer to ancillary fees for part-time studies.
