PSCDSCBC1001 - Cybersecurity Boot Camp

The curriculum combines cybersecurity, networking, systems, programming, and career skills to help position students for success after they graduate. The program also offers pre-course tutorials for students with little or no prior experience.* The curriculum incorporates a blend of marketable hard skills, hands-on experience, behavioral interview prep, and skills applicable to industry certifications to equip students for success on job interviews.

*We have pre-work designed for individuals with no experience to complete before proceeding in the application process. There is also pre-work for students who enroll to complete before the boot camp starts. Students without a degree or experience can apply, but they'll be told they have to work a lot harder to find a job after the program without a degree.

By the time students graduate, they will have the ability to:

• Successfully design and configure digital networks using Cisco IOS
• Perform a network packet analysis
• Understand and implement network theory
• Perform administrative and security tasks to Windows and Linux Operating Systems
• Understand cybersecurity threats, actors, and methods
• Conduct vulnerability assessments
• Perform network, system, and web penetration testing activities
• Performing Python programming along with Bash and PowerShell scripting
• Advise on cybersecurity best practices and risk management strategies
