Overview
This distance learning course explores the foundations of cyberspace operations.

This course analyzes the offensive and defensive dimensions of cyberspace operations based on actual campaigns and incidents. It examines network architectures, technical methods, and emerging innovations for the conduct of cyberspace operations. The course debates policy and legal precedents to counter malicious actors operating in the domain. It gives students periodic opportunities for interactive analysis of the three main domains of cyber. The course concludes by proposing novel strategies to mitigate risk and prevail in cyber enabled military affairs. This course is open only to students enrolled in DL certificate programs.
