Cybersecurity is one of the most critical national issues of our time. The trend for cyber-attacks is rapidly increasing in enterprise networks and is extending into other domains like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Our 16 Critical Infrastructures are the powerhouses for our military might and our huge economy, and thus protecting these assets is paramount. This class will: (1) introduce students to the history of the problem of Cybersecurity, (2) introduce students to the 16 Critical Infrastructures, and (3) provide students hands-on experience with developing Cybersecurity technology to assess, defend, and monitor enterprise, IoT, and ICS networks.
