Course Goals:

Since debuting in the fall of 2016 as a banking malware, Trickbot has evolved into an example of the burgeoning cybercrime-as-a-service movement. This is but one example of the numerous types of malware found in the wild that are threats to our office networks. In the last quarter of 2019 ransomware attacks on healthcare facilities were up 800%. This represents a new wave where bad actors have identified a new and productive target for malware.

This course introduces the architecture of the Internet and computer networks. It examines the protocols and services of computer networks and how you can be more knowledgeable about your system. It covers cyber-hygiene that you can perform to monitor your systems for intrusions and increase the barriers to intrusions.

Course Objectives:

• Identify new types of intrusion threats

• Identify hacker strategies

• Identify new tools for password protections

• Identify new tools for monitoring networks

• Identify human factors and vulnerabilities in you network

Designed for dentists with no in depth background in cybersecurity but who want to understand their systems, this course will cover basic terminology and concepts. This course will introduce the basics of cryptography, security management, wireless networking, and organizational policy. Topics will include an overview of the information security framework and defense as it relates to private dental offices connected to the internet. This course will help you to be a better consumer of IT security services.
