CR4215 - Defensive/Offensive Strategies I

Computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread but is being executed so flawlessly that attackers may compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks. As technology advances and organizations increasingly depend on technology, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival.
 
This course is an introduction to defensive and offensive cybersecurity strategies. Students will learn active defense strategies that require organizations to anticipate attacks before they happen by detecting and responding to threats in real-time. Reactive defense strategies (also known as incident response) will also be explored, with a focus on limiting the damage caused by an attack while also collecting information to understand and prevent against similar future attacks.
 
Concepts will be re-enforced by practical work utilizing current software and security techniques.
