Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
Cybersecurity is a top priority for individuals, organizations, and governments. Cyber risks impact public health and safety, financial systems, business operations, national security, geopolitical relationships, and more. Because systems are interconnected and interdependent, and cybercriminals and nation-state actors often look for the weakest link to gain access, reasonable cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Policies, laws, and frameworks addressing cybersecurity have advanced considerably over the years, but do not always keep pace with evolving technologies, uses, and threats. Now, with the widespread use of AI and the ever-expanding Internet of Things, the implications and impact of cybersecurity policy have become all the more critical.
