Information Security and Data Protection
Imagine a world where people were trying to steal from every home, workplace, or bank all the time. That’s the world of digital security. Because it’s cheap to launch attacks on every system you can find, virtually every organization and individual is always under some level of digital attack. This course will teach you how to help defend against this constant assault and keep valuable information and critical systems safe.
