Cyber Security
What is Cyber Security?
Cybersecurity is a critical and expansive field that focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs, and data from unauthorized access, damage, or attack. It encompasses a range of practices, technologies, and processes designed to safeguard digital assets and sensitive information from cyber threats such as hacking, malware, data breaches, and identity theft.
Core Focus
-
Network Security
The practice of securing a computer network and implementing measures to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of network and data.
-
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
This defines how an organization responds to a cyber-security incident or any other event that causes the loss of operations or data.
-
User Education
Users must understand the importance of following best practices like not clicking on unknown links or downloading suspicious attachments in emails.
Cyber Security Foundations
The Cyber Secruity Foundations Course allows students to learn more about the day-to-day of development roles, as well as begin their journey into using code to build small projects. Students are able to ask questions from mentors during this lower-commitment programming to understand the possibilities of employment in tech.
Dates: Upcoming cohorts coming soon
Location: These courses will take place via Zoom and at our downtown St Paul location.
