Course Description
This course will focus on current and emerging threats, including the problems of malware and phishing attacks. These two threats alone are exposing businesses to massive amounts of intellectual property theft, lost revenue and costs associated with data breaches. As threats continue to evolve, the focus areas of the course will evolve with them. Current events in the news will drive much of the discussion through the course.
