Cybersecurity

Earlier, in this course, we discussed the importance of physical security to a critical facility. However, physical security is not the only type of security that these organizations need. They also need to make sure that all of the networked equipment that is used to keep the business running is safe from cyber intrusions from hackers. This module discusses different threats to networks and cybersecurity and, also, some of the ways that they can be stopped.  The learning activities in this module were designed to meet course objective C10.
