Viruses and malware infect millions of computers worldwide, and some of you may even see related breaking news on a daily basis. In many cases, attackers exploit software bugs, such as buffer overflows or poorly written code, to spread malicious programs across computer and network systems. The aim is to extort businesses, resulting in billions of dollars in damages annually. This MOOC course introduces the fundamentals of cybersecurity, including software vulnerabilities, encryption, authentication protocols, and common security threats in both Windows and Linux environments. Students will also gain hands-on experience using tools like Metasploit and Nmap in Kali Linux to identify and exploit potential network vulnerabilities. Additionally, the course offers an overview of AI-driven security and defense mechanisms to help protect enterprise systems against attacks and privacy breaches. Finally, it explores the future vision of cybersecurity, addressing topics such as data protection, post-quantum security protocols, cyberwarfare, privacy-enhancing technologies, and next-generation defense strategies in the emerging quantum era.
