Cybersecurity Foundations: The Modern Threat Landscape
RCCE students will learn the modern threat landscape including nation-state actors, cybercriminal organizations, hacktivists, and insider threats. This course covers how attacks are planned and executed across the kill chain, from initial reconnaissance through data exfiltration. RCCE students will learn to identify common attack vectors such as phishing, watering hole attacks, drive-by downloads, and supply chain compromises. The course examines real-world breach case studies, explores the economics of cybercrime, and teaches students how organizations build layered defenses using people, processes, and technology to protect critical assets. This comprehensive course delivers practical knowledge applicable to real-world cybersecurity operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn through a combination of concept explanation, practical demonstration, and hands-on exercises. Students develop skills that prepare them for the challenges of modern cybersecurity roles.
