Spring 2015 2nd 8-week course: MDIA 199 Security for Media Professionals
About the class:
Every month the news reports on a new data breach, government spying, or corporate espionage. The good news is the tools and techniques to keep yourself and your businesses safe are more accessible than ever.
In MDIA 199 MNT (8-week) we cover topics such as disk encryption, multifactor authentication, email encryption, and anonymous web browsing. We will also cover the concepts and structures so students can understand what is happening in this evolving and ever changing field.
This is taught at the College of Media and is designed for students not focused on computer science. While the course is focused on Media Professionals we’ve had students from many majors who have found it worthwhile.
We will provide real world skills for students to use in their personal life and also when they enter their professional fields.
Best,
Julian
