Course Overview
The internet was once celebrated as the ultimate platform for self-expression and open communication. But it has now become a global surveillance device. With its endless capacity to process and store data, the internet can pose a dire threat to individual privacy and national security. To learn more about this developing issue, take the Cyberwar, Surveillance and Security course by edX.
People are starting to realise that their data and online activities are being monitored 24/7. And they are beginning to call for restrictions on such practices. After taking the Cyberwar, Surveillance, and Security training, you too will be sufficiently informed to join the debate. You will learn about national security laws, and laws related to personal and commercial privacy, in the post-Snowden online world.
The University of Adelaide put together the Cyberwar, Surveillance, and Security certification syllabus. And upon course completion, you can receive a certificate with their logo and the course instructors’ signatures, if you pay the certification fee. Candidates don’t require any academic qualification to pursue the introductory computer science programme.
