Skills you'll gain

Specialization - 3 course series

There are no projects for this specialization. Students will have an opportunity to validate their knowledge gained throughout each of the courses with practice and graded assessments at the end of each module and for each course. Practice and graded assessments are used to validate and demonstrate learning outcomes.

In this course, we take a look at what an actual operating system is. People often confuse operating systems with browsers and many other things. We take a look at Windows versus Linux versus MacOS and discuss how these operating systems evolved. We also get into some technical detail about the components that make up an operating system.

In this course, the learner will get a good look at what policies and frameworks do to keep the cybersecurity industry on-mission and formal. Without this area of cybersecurity, cybersecurity would mean too many people doing too many different things that might not even improve security. Learn how you can have a successful career in cybersecurity without ever touching a command line!
