About Cyber Security
Be Safe on Cyberspace
The Internet is a staple in many people's everyday lives. It is a great place fills with lots of information, but it is also full of dangers. Staying safe on Cyberspace is no longer an option as we have much to lose if we do not exercise caution. Introduction to Cybersecurity covers the importance of cybersecurity, awareness, data confidentiality and good practices when using the cyber space and social media. It walks students through every aspects of security in a broad, easy to understand way and explains the value of securing data, both personal and for businesses.
The course shows students the great demand for cybersecurity professionals and opportunities in pursuing a career in security.
The course modules define cybersecurity, explain why it’s important, the impact of cyber attacks, and introduce the processes used to secure data.
The course offers the following:
- Interactive content
- Activities and lab exercises that reinforce learning
- Links to articles and websites to help you explore cybersecurity on your own
- Quizzes to check your understanding of the information presented
Cybersecurity Careers
Training a cybersecurity workforce is a national priority for many countries, and the demand for cybersecurity professionals is projected to rise to six millions job openings globally by 2019. There are many opportunities for career growth in this field. As people become increasingly dependent on networks to store their personal, financial, and business data, there’s greater incentive for cybercriminals to steal or manipulate that data. The world needs people who are trained to proactively mitigate and address these threats. Introduction to Cybersecurity is delivered through the Cisco NetAcad.com learning environment. Students can self-enroll to take the course at your own pace. Instructors can enroll students and teach the course through the same process used for other NetAcad™ courses.

About Internet of Things
Introduction to IoT
Invest in learning IoT (Internet of Things) skills and you can transform any business in any industry, from manufacturing to saving endangered species. Imagine 26 billion people, systems, and physical objects connecting and sharing data seamlessly over the internet. This isn't a what-if scenario, it's real-life and it’s coming together all around us right now. Learn how IoT is changing the world and the IoT skills you will need to land a well-paying job. No prerequisites required.
- Learn how the current digital transformation is creating unprecedented economic opportunity.
- Understand how the IoT is bridging the gap between operational and information technology systems.
- Discover how standard business processes are being transformed.
- The security concerns that must be considered when implementing IoT solutions.
IoT Fundamentals: Connecting Things
Nearly every object can now be connected to the Internet -- from washing machines to sophisticated components of an airplane’s jet engine, even organic items like crops and cows. The ability to connect things and capture useful data is transforming organizations in every industry and opening doors for new career specializations. Discover the basis of this exciting and emerging field using fun, hands-on activities to model securely connecting sensors to cloud services over IP networks and collecting data in an end-to-end IoT (Internet of Things) system. Basic programming (such as PCAP: Programming Essentials in Python), networking and electronics knowledge is recommended.
- Learn how the current digital transformation is creating unprecedented economic opportunity.
- Understand how the IoT is bridging the gap between operational and information technology systems.
- Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using both real equipment and Cisco Packet Tracer.
- Soft skills such as teamwork and articulating problems and solutions in a business context.
IoT Fundamentals: Hackathon
After you've completed Connecting Things , it's time to create your own IoT solution using your new skills. Here you’ll form a Hackathon team and use professional tools and templates to define, design, and prototype an IoT solution. What really dials up the heat is that your team’s project will find a new way to solve a real-world problem! Not only will you prototype an IoT solution, but you'll also learn how to present it to a panel of industry experts and peers! Prerequisite IoT Fundamentals: Connecting Things and.
- Identify a problem, create a design, then plan for an IoT solution.
- Develop a prototype of an IoT solution.
- Test and validate your prototype.
- Present IoT concept and solution to experts.
