Cybersecurity Responsibilities

Explores security technology, risks, countermeasures, and consequences, to help cybersecurity analysts protect those who rely on them. Includes hands-on activities such as packet analysis, exploiting vulnerable systems, and password cracking, and also research, presentations, and debates about current controversies, laws, and policies. Addresses topics such as surveillance, cyberwar, and computer crime.

AWS Cloud Practitioner

This course covers Amazon Web Server Cloud deployment and service models, Cloud infrastructure, and the key considerations in migrating to Cloud computing. This course also provides the required technology essentials across all domains including server, storage, networking, applications, and databases to help develop a strong understanding of virtualization and Cloud computing technologies.

EMC - Information Storage and Management

Students will learn about the transition from a Classic Data Center environment to Virtual Data Center and the Cloud virtualization at each layer - compute, storage, network, desktop, and application - along with business continuity in a VDC environment. Students will also learn Cloud computing basics, infrastructure components, service management activities, security concerns, and considerations for Cloud adoption.

Incident Response

When computer networks are breached, incident response (IR) is required to assess the damage, eject the attackers, and improve security measures so attackers cannot return. As part of the Advanced Cybersecurity Certificate, this class covers the IR tools and techniques required to defend modern corporate networks.

Introduction to Virtualization

This course is an introduction to virtualization. Students will learn about server, cloud, client, storage networking and application virtualization in the public and private cloud, and requirements for virtual environments, administration, and data security. Students will be exposed to different virtualization applications and platforms such as: VMware, Oracle VBox and Azure.

Cryptography for Computer Networks

The class focuses on practical applications: selecting, implementing, testing, and maintaining systems to protect data on modern computer networks. Mathematical underpinnings and practical applications of modern cryptographic systems, including the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA), and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA).
