Short Course Description
What is cyber made of? What are the main cyber threats and how can they be mitigated? As part of this course, students will become familiar with the building blocks of the major Internet technologies, which consist of communication equipment and various types of endpoint devices. We will present various threats and the ways in which hackers attack corporate networks, endpoint devices (such as PC and Mobile), Web applications and Clouds. And of course, how, and what tools make it possible to defend against all these threats and risks. In addition, we will also review challenges and solutions in supply-chain security, industrial control systems (ICS/OT), weapon systems and more.
The student will get familiar with cyber technologies and acquire extensive knowledge of the threats and risks in cyberspace, alongside with an understanding of the methods and tools for dealing with them in different computing environments. Since the course is also intended for non-technological populations, we will review the concept and motivation of various cyber technologies without going into technical details or math.
Full syllabus will be available to registered students only
