For domestic and international students.
In cyber security, threats and vulnerabilities change daily, but the principles that underpin security intelligence expertise remain the same. Tradecraft in cyber security is a skill set that requires a deep understanding of the cybercrime landscape. Experienced professionals can spot patterns and draw conclusions from contrasting attacks across different sectors. They evaluate situations from the perspective of the attacker, evaluating risks and applying models and solutions to address cyber intelligence challenges.
