ITEC-468 Cybersecurity Analytics (3)

Cybersecurity research has made great strides in perimeter protection and attack prevention for cyber assets. The increasingly sophisticated nature of security attacks, however, makes it imperative for cybersecurity professionals to leverage the large volume of data generated by users, systems, networks, and applications, as these data may reveal the digital trails left behind by attackers and help detect, prevent, and mitigate such attacks. This course covers a variety of analytics techniques for cybersecurity applications, from data collection and management to machine learning to data visualization, and discusses their roles in detecting cyber threats and strengthening the defense of critical cyber assets in today’s ever-changing cybersecurity landscape.
