  • Cybersecurity - Overview: General information, famous cybersecurity incidents, careers in cybersecurity

  • Cybersecurity - Concepts: Common concepts such as confidiality, integrity, availability, threat, vulnerability...

Each of these modules contains a recorded lecture (40-50 min), slides and an "info for educators" page with learning outcomes, suggested activities, discussion questions, potential assignments and/or quiz questions.
