Comprehensive Cyberterrorism Defense
“From Identity Theft to Electronic Warfare – How to Win the Battle”
It’s a war like no other - one often motivated by things like cyber espionage, corporate ambition, intelligence gathering…attacks that could even threaten our critical infrastructures. It has the elements of a Hollywood blockbuster, but the reality is anything but entertainment. In 2005, 85% of our nation’s government agencies and large corporations reported severe computer security breaches. In December, Live Response takes an inside look at a course offered by the University of Arkansas Criminal Justice Institute called “Comprehensive Cyberterrorism Defense (CCD).” This is part of the Cyberterrorism Defense Initiative working to train personnel in critical need areas nationwide. The goal of the CCD course is to provide technical personnel with the hands-on expertise necessary to defend communication and data networks from cyberterrorism events. The course stresses a proactive approach to providing computer, network and infrastructure security. This program will give you an increased understanding of the historical perspectives, network design and emerging methodologies in computer hacking.
Key Learning Objectives for this Curriculum:
- Outlining how the cyber threat landscape has evolved and is evolving as a result of hacker methodologies.
- Preparing network defenses based on existing and emerging attack methods.
- Recommending strategies for implementing Defenses-in-Depth to thwart attacks.
- Improving modern technologies that are deficient in thwarting attacks.
- Utilizing self-auditing methods and best practices for security defenses, including guidelines for offensively approaching one’s own network without causing damage or unintended consequences.
