Choosing a pathway to a promising career in cybersecurity.
University of Texas at San Antonio
The UTSA CyberSkills2Work program offers training for individuals who want to learn new cybersecurity skills or start a new career in cybersecurity. Program classes are online hybrid courses that include a brief session on cybersecurity careers and 40 hours of instruction for each of the principles of cybersecurity; a boot camp for the Security+ certification exam; digital forensics; a boot camp for project management professional certification exam; and industrial control systems security. The program is available to transitioning military personnel, first responders, military spouses, and veterans. This program is offered at no cost to selected participants.
Most modern IT incidents that involve a security breach typically involve malware, which may be designed to allow the attacker to remotely control the compromised system, spread within the organization, steal sensitive data, or spy on the victim. This pathway course will improve your malware hunting skills by finding and examining key artifacts within the operating system and will teach ways of investigating various properties of malware to help determine the reason for the attack.
