If there was any question about the importance of cybersecurity, just read about what happened to Target in 2013. That year, the retail giant’s digital defenses were hacked when a third-party HVAC vendor fell victim to an email phishing scam. As Target’s HVAC units allowed remote access through the internet, hackers were able to access the company’s payment system by using the vendor’s credentials. The hack compromised the data of 40 million credit and debit card shoppers; Target ended up paying an $18.5 million settlement to affected customers.
Today, some schools are offering cybersecurity courses, including cyber warfare and offensive cybersecurity, to deal with these and other threats. Others are offering courses that show how to investigate cyber crimes and deal with cybersecurity threats from an organizational standpoint.
