This is the ultimate security course on protecting company assets through network security. Topics include Firewall, Perimeter Security, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Edge Devices, and Assessment. Students will learn how to develop a set of firewall rules that will keep hackers out, how to look at all possible ways in which unauthorized users might gain access to network assets, and how an IDS can provide an analysis showing who has access to the system. Students will develop a security plan and monitor ongoing activities to determine effectiveness of a security model.

This course will explore the Internet of Things (IoT), creating one or more projects using microcontrollers such as the Raspberry Pi, Arduino or other microcontrollers. Vulnerabilities will be examined along with how they might be exploited and mitigated. Known exploits will be researched and students will examine their home networks in order to understand their exposure to cybersecurity threats. Ideally, interested students should be familiar with one or more of the following: Networks, Python, Java, C or C++, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and/or Arduino. The student should have demonstrated through prior coursework the ability to stay focused, problem solve and find answers to problems on their own.

This is an experiential learning course that offers students the opportunity to apply the skills, practices, policies and procedures taught in the Computer & Network Security curriculum and apply them in simulated real-world environments via NCL competitions. These games help students develop problem solving and team building skills while learning how to defend against cybersecurity attacks. In addition, the role of the ethical hacker is emphasized in order to ensure that students develop penetration testing skills while also understanding how to use these skills responsibly. Unlike many industry recognized certifications that measure rote memorization knowledge in the form of multiple-choice test questions, NCL games use performance-based assessment which helps students understand their current level of preparation for the workforce and what they need to focus on to get better: "NCL's Scouting Reports measure strengths and weaknesses amongst various cybersecurity learning objectives and industry-recognized competencies" (https://www.nationalcyberleague.org/scouting-reports). Perhaps more so than most other disciplines, cybersecurity threats are constantly changing, and practitioners need to be lifelong learners. The NCL is a learning community that makes competing fun through things like Crypto Kait's NCL Player Ambassador program (https://cryptokait.com/) that will help students grow and remain involved long after this course is over.
