Introduction to Cybersecurity

Description:

In this course, students learn about the various parts of the computer, how they work together, and how they can manipulate them to keep data safe.

FROM THE TEACHER

If you are like most people you have data scattered on multiple devices (computers, tablets, smartphones, etc) and across multiple online accounts (email, social media, and others). How can you protect your data on your own networks and on public networks. You will learn basic techniques for interacting online and making sure your data is as secure as possible.

If there are books and materials for this course, they can be purchased from our Online Bookstore.

Student Feedback

One of my favorite classes I’ve done at NorthStar was Public Speaking…The information was excellent and easy to understand…all [the tasks were] beneficial and relevant to the actual writing, research, outlining, and giving of a speech.
