This book on Cybersecurity is written for beginners. No college degree is required. Cybersecurity covers a broad spectrum of topics. This book intends to ease the initial learning curve using associable analogies in normal life and graphical and guided exercises. Completing the Cybersecurity study in this book can be accomplished in a self-paced learning manner outside of a classroom.

It is hoped that self-paced learning and/or the teaching of this book at various institutions will open the doors to a broader audience in their career development towards the job-rich cybersecurity industry. Further, it is hoped that by demystifying cybersecurity, people will build up their interests and confidence in transitioning into the cybersecurity industries from whatever field they are working in today.

Ethical Hacking is a course in our IT Cyber Security Program created by Syeda Ferdous Ara Begum.
This course teaches students how to properly secure a network by introducing them to various methodologies and techniques of attacking and disabling a network. Students will receive a hands-on practical approach in penetration testing measures and ethical hacking.
Coursework is supplemented by hands-on exercises of attacking and disabling a network, and the use of appropriate tools for defense and countermeasures, with emphasis on teaching students to use what they learn ethically and legally. Students will be required to sign the White Hat Oath.

This course examines cyber dynamics and processes in international relations from different theoretical perspectives. It considers alternative theoretical and empirical frameworks consistent with characteristic features of cyberspace and emergent transformations at all levels of international interaction. Theories examined include realism and neorealism, institutionalism and liberalism, constructivism, and systems theory and lateral pressure. The course also highlights relevant features and proposes customized international relations theory for the cyber age.
Students taking the graduate version are expected to pursue the subject in greater depth through reading and individual research.

This course introduces the concepts of system safety and how to analyze and design safer systems. Topics include the causes of accidents in general, and recent major accidents in particular; hazard analysis, safety-driven design techniques; design of human-automation interaction; integrating safety into the system engineering process; and managing and operating safety-critical systems.
