RFC: Find an alternative to Cybersecurity Fundamentals

[kevintprivett]

Problem:

It seems that something has changed with the Cybersecurity offering on edx, it is now no longer offered year round and is currently not available for audit access.

Proposal:

A new resource should be identified and incorporated into the curriculum.

I know of two practical oriented ones but they may not be fully aligned with 2023 curricular guidelines. They prepare you to do cybersecurity work and are highly recommended by sources i know.

coursera is no longer free, so that's a no-go

[Dan-Kot]

There is https://cybersecuritybase.mooc.fi/, it is a decent free cybersecurity course

Just a note it goes over secure coding very lightly so it maybe good for replacing other security courses too but it is no where near comprehensive like the secure coding coursera courses.
