Course Content
|
In a modern world, almost all of us has some type of electronic (and most of the time, smart) devices to connect to the Internet for accessing social media platforms, reading news, using instant messaging applications, and so on. Unfortunately, some malicious people target security of any online services that we communicate with. Here, in this course, students learn internals of these attacks and countermeasures that they need to take to protect security of those services and their users.
