Description:

Every day, we hear about sophisticated new cyberattacks infiltrating major corporations and governments. How does the ordinary citizen protect their phones, computers, and online accounts from this continuous assault? We will start this course by exploring cybercriminals' motivations and methods. Then, using that knowledge, we will uncover three simple strategies for significantly improving personal cybersecurity.
