Generic Skills 1. Fundamentals of Cybersecurity (HOT)

In 2017, WannaCry disturbed the computer users all around the globe. More than 200,000 computer users were affected across 150 countries in just a few days. Of course we do not want to suffer from what they had experienced. This incident raised concerns about cybersecurity, and we thus see an emerging future for professional cybersecurity practitioners. When both commercial and public institutions are continually encountering with the threat of new cyber-attacks, simply relying on the firewall is not enough to battle with those attacks. Professional cybersecurity practitioners need to equip with comprehensive knowledge of the structure of cybersecurity and can master various tools for cyber protection in order to fully avoid cyber-attacks. For this reason, the course will equip you with fundamental concepts of cybersecurity, understanding of a variety of threats and challenges of cyber safety, installation of firewall, knowing various malignant software and bugs and ways of preventing infection, finding out the authentication and access control process, managing vulnerability and backup and recovery, etc. The use of cybersecurity software like network monitoring, vulnerability management and backup plus recovery software, etc. will also be demonstrated in this course.
