This program prepares current and future IT professionals for a career in cybersecurity, with a focus on "defensive" strategies to protect an organization from risk. Additionally, students are trained in the proper response to threats and attacks by applying environmental reconnaissance techniques like OS fingerprinting, email harvesting, and social media profiling using tools such as Nmap, Netstat, and syslog. Students also learn to analyze the results of network reconnaissance and recommend or implement countermeasures. This program is designed for those wanting to obtain the CompTIA CySA+ certification.
