SESSION 1 CLASSES
Issues in Cybersecurity in Start-ups 
The information age, with the emergence and spread of advanced communication technologies, contributes to significant changes in culture, politics, and society, and most recently has transformed the world of warfare. This class reviews the cyber area from two perspectives: acts of cyber warfare by state-sponsored hackers and acts of resistance by ideological hackers. Students will examine issues of industrial espionage and consider how cybercrime can impact start-ups. By the end of the class, students will understand critical differences between cyber and traditional warfare and be able to evaluate strategies for protecting their innovations and companies.
