Information is the lifeblood for organizations of all types. Therefore, everyone needs to have a fundamental understanding of the interdisciplinary field of cybersecurity. This course provides this fundamental knowledge by taking the learner through the evolution of the discipline from information security to cybersecurity. Learners evaluate several important laws, which have significant impact on cybersecurity strategy. Learners also investigate multiple cybersecurity technologies, processes, and procedures and learn how to analyze threats, vulnerabilities, and risks in these environments, and develop appropriate mitigation strategies by applying a mission-focused and risk-optimized approach. This survey course introduces learners to the three primary sources of threats (technology, policy, and people, both internal and external) and the three classes of tools (technology, policy, and people) used to develop an organizational cybersecurity strategy. This course and exercises are designed to emphasize, encourage and enhance the critical thinking abilities of learners. Although the course is not designed to prepare learners for this test, the material covered in this course includes most of the knowledge tested in the CompTIA Security+ exam. Learners will apply their learning by performing systematic case studies of actual organizations.
