Course Description and Objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This course focuses on tools and techniques involved in real-world cyber operations. It provides a
broad range of cybersecurity concepts and essential hands-on training for students who want to
become cybersecurity professionals. Students will learn the basic cybersecurity discipline, underline
the model computing environment, and practice different tools and strategies to perform cyber
attacks and defense operations.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
\u2022 understand the rules and laws involved in real-world cyber operations,
\u2022 understand the basic components of the model computing networks, and take different
techniques to identify and trace the network traffic if an instruction is detected inside a
network,
\u2022 identify and evaluate the vulnerabilities in the network and implement effective countermeasures to protect the network from possible attacks,
\u2022 understand how to plan, organize and perform penetration testing on a network,
\u2022 understand different cryptographic protocols, tools, and mechanisms used for different
systems, and exploit their weaknesses accordingly,
\u2022 manage data and personal information in a secure manner<\/p>\n\n\n\n
