Cybersecurity Foundation

In this course students will learn fundamental principles associated with the current cybersecurity landscape and identify concepts required to recognize and potentially mitigate attacks against enterprise networks as well as mission critical infrastructure. Students will also learn how to initially setup and configure security zones, authentication, and policies on a next generation firewall.
Additionally, students are introduced to artificial intelligence and the role it plays in cybersecurity today.
