Threat Hunting and Offensive Cybersecurity

Catalog description

This course focuses both on monitoring systems and networks for real-time threats and on "ethical" hacking tools and techniques. Both topics allow students to recognize the need for the constant collection and analysis of Cybersecurity data and provide the insight on how to accomplish such. Students in the first part of the course practice techniques, and put into use various tools, for identifying Cybersecurity threats. Students in the second part of the course test systems, networks, and policies for vulnerabilities and exploit them while recognizing how to prevent such real attacks from hackers.
