Cybersecurity

The internet is one of the marvels of the modern world. Not only did it revolutionize research, healthcare, government, commerce, cat videos, and life as we know it, it also gave rise to an entirely new world of crime. (Seems like the world wide web was about ten minutes old before someone got the first email from a far-off prince asking for banking information.)

The online theft of money, identity, or information are rough for everyday people and the companies they do business with, and with sad frequency you’ll regularly hear about security breaches that cost millions of dollars and destroyed customer trust. 

The 16-week Cybersecurity course is designed to teach you how to protect online data using modern technologies, so you can work as a Cybersecurity Engineer.

Devmountain’s cybersecurity course will cover core programming language skills for use in security engineering including Python and Linux, as well as networking principles, software systems, core and offensive security practices, and standards, maintenance, and communication.

It will also include two sprints: a security audit and comprehensive report, and a proposal of a set of security improvements for an existing system. This project-based portion of the course will give students hands-on experience and help to build their portfolios.
