Learn to assess and defend real-world information systems through applied cybersecurity techniques and adversarial thinking. Working in tandem with the "Networked Infrastructure" class, students in this course take on the role of ethical hackers, probing and penetrating the networks built by their peers. This iterative cycle fosters a high-feedback learning environment where both attackers and defenders refine their skills in tandem. Focusing on threat detection, mitigation strategies, and incident response, students will use industry-standard tools and AI-augmented systems to simulate modern cyberattacks. They will also explore how to design systems that are resilient to these threats, studying historical case studies and performing red-team/blue-team exercises.
