Course Overview

Gain the fundamental knowledge and expertise in network security and forensics that is necessary for security in networked environments. In the advanced certificate in cybersecurity, you’ll learn to make computers and networks resistant to attack by monitoring intrusions and closing off vulnerabilities.

The application of forensics allows successful attacks on computer systems to be detected. This involves gathering information on the nature and extent of the attack for presentation in a court of law, as well as assessing the extent of the damage to an organization. Courses taken as part of this certificate can transfer into the MS program in computing security.
