Text Book at Colorado State University
ENGR 569 – Cybersecurity Awareness for Systems Engineers
I am extremely proud to announce that, I just find out that one more of my books is used as a textbook at Colorado State University. Cybersecurity Attack and Defense Strategies, which we wrote with Yuri was awarded many times by Book Authority, but this news is even more valuable to me than any other award. Helping the new generation to learn Cybersecurity is one of my biggest passions... Below are the details :
Cybersecurity principles, practices, technologies, design approaches, and terminology. Incorporation of cybersecurity principles into effective systems designs. This course is directed to System Engineers and other technical personnel with a need to understand cybersecurity in order to integrate it into a balanced system design.
Students registering for the 702 section are expected to attend the class in person at United Launch Alliance, 7630 S Chester Street in Centennial CO (South Denver) unless other arrangements are made with the instructor.
The online section can be accessed synchronously or asynchronously. Synchronous means you can log on live and participate in the class as it is occurring on campus, but participation in this format is not mandatory. Asynchronous means you can access the video recording of the class sessions whenever it is convenient for you.
