About this Specialization

This specialisation covers topics ranging from the security of computer system and networks, to the key role of human aspects in cybercrime. You will learn fundamental concepts related to computer system core components and how computers work, then extend this to consider a variety of topics from hardware to applications. Aspects of cybercriminal activity are explained in topics such as social engineering, arguably the most important attack vector in cybercrime, and the range of actors related to cybercrime: the criminals, the victims, and law enforcement. Finally, you will be presented with some of the key components of practical cyber security management and its governance. This includes what happens when things go wrong, understanding how organisations can respond to incidents, through to the essential role of people in achieving better cyber security outcomes.
