Data & Security

About

This two-part course addresses data analytics and cybersecurity. Extracting the value that can be hidden in data to support decision-making processes is hugely important today. Challenges include analysis, capture, data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy. The course will review the different phases of the project to extract knowledge from databases with special emphasis on the extraction of predictive models. Cybersecurity is about balancing risks and opportunities in cyberspace, the global interconnection of digital networks. Cybersecurity is designed to protect digital property, personal information, and business transactions from accidents, errors, and deliberate attacks. The course introduces students to the cybersecurity field, its uses and raison d'être.
