This course will provide the student the opportunity to learn about the elements that comprise Intrusion Detection and Incident Response.

INTB 6500 – International Business Consulting

This course differs from others as it is an experiential, action-learning course – meaning that there is very minimal structure. We are contracted to the company thereby providing students with “on the job” strategic and tactical learning from the ground up that complements, but does not fit neatly into, the typical lecture-style classroom setting.
