Computers exchange data through networks built from hosts, protocols and hardware, and those networks can be attacked. These curations cover how computer networking connects people and machines, how information becomes computation in computer science, and which vulnerabilities intruders exploit in cybersecurity.
Computer networking is a group of computers and peripherals called hosts that exchange data using communication protocols and networking hardware. What connects people and computers through networks, and how can you understand the ways those connections are made? The lessons build a general understanding of how networks link devices and support communication.
Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation, and of what can and cannot be automated. The lessons answer how information becomes computation and help readers understand what computation can do and what it requires. They connect ideas about information, logic, and the levels at which instructions are carried out.
Cybersecurity is the part of information security focused on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can expose, steal, damage, or disrupt them. What vulnerabilities can intruders exploit, and how can you understand the ways they do so? The lessons build an understanding of how intrusions work and why protection can be challenging.
