Network Arch for Cyber Managers CYB 620 TBA 06/29/26 - 08/23/26 3 In order to ensure a house is safe, we need to know how it’s built. It’s the same for cybersecurity: to ensure systems are secure, we need to understand their design and the unique security challenges of different network architectures and data storage solutions. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to critique security for various network designs, including IT and OT systems, cloud environments, data storage, and IoT networks, in terms of cyber risk.
