CIT 160 Security

COMPUTING & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CIT 160: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SECURITY

It introduces students to all malwares and other threats that will compromise the data stored in a computer or transmitted in a network. Malwares are the monsters and ghouls of the computer and cyberspace world.
