Ransomware. Network breaches. Vulnerable infrastructure. Sometimes, we feel as if nothing can be done about these cybercriminals. In the Network Security program, we do something. We learn what criminals do and how to stop them. We will look at the ways they criminals work, and we learn the best practices to prevent them from gaining access to our networks.
