Welcome! This week we'll explore users and user based attacks. User based attacks are common because it may be easier to compromise a human rather than a computer.

Threats against networks and systems are the most common type of attack method. This week will explore these concepts.

You use the cloud every day; you may not even realize it! This week will focus on the cloud and security surrounding cloud and cloud services.

The week will focus on common vulnerabilities that systems face and how they work.

Data breaches occur daily. Sometimes they are announced right away, other times they are found out months after the compromise. This week will focus on the course project.
