Cybersecurity Online Programme (under the Advanced Computing for Executives, SoC, NUS in collaboration with Emeritus)

As a Programme Faculty, co-teaching with Dr. Guo Charng Rang:
I’m excited to be a part of Cybersecurity online programme developed by ACE, School of Computing, NUS in collaboration with Emeritus. In this programme, we’ll delve into insightful topics - from fundamentals of cybersecurity and best practices in cybersecurity to key concepts and tactics to prevent cyberattacks. During this learning journey, we’ll deep dive into various key topics such as entity authentication, preventive measures for password cracking, network security, malware, web security, trends of cybersecurity and many more!
