The Networking and Security courses aim to equip learners with essential skills in computer communication, online protection, and responsible digital behavior.
Students begin with Computer Networking Fundamentals (NET401), which introduces how computers and devices connect and share information through networks. They explore different types of networks, components, and basic setup procedures.
Next, in Cybersecurity Essentials (CYB402), learners study the importance of securing data and systems from cyber threats. The course covers common security risks such as viruses, hacking, and phishing, along with preventive measures like encryption, firewalls, and strong passwords.
Finally, Internet Safety and Digital Ethics (ISD403) focuses on responsible internet use, emphasizing privacy, cyberbullying awareness, and respect for digital rights.
Together, these courses help learners understand how modern networks operate, how to stay safe online, and how to apply ethical practices in digital environments.
