BISMARCK, N.D. — Starting this fall, Bismarck State College’s Computer Support Specialist Program will focus more on cybersecurity, preparing students for jobs as IT administrators, security administrators, network administrators, security analysts, help desk associates and IT support specialists.
The new program, Cybersecurity & Computer Networks, will include four core classes: Principles of Information Security, Computer and Network Security, Digital Forensics, and Ethical Hacking and Network Defense. Ethical hacking, a concept taught in similar programs at other schools, teaches advanced hacking tools and techniques used by hackers and information security professionals, says Matthew Frohlich, assistant professor of computer information systems (CIS). “We teach this to students so that they will be able to defend against attacks on their IT infrastructure.”
Nick See, CIS instructor, adds, “The Ethical Hacking and Network Defense course shows students the tools and techniques being used by their adversaries. They learn how computer and network compromises occur, as well as learning to protect against them.” For the full article click here
