It also builds security awareness, strengthens customer trust, and reduces long-term security costs.
This ethical hacking program introduces the mindset and techniques used to defend real-world systems turning curiosity into responsible, in-demand cybersecurity skills.
Learn how to break in, so you know how to protect.

Did you know that Yale has an extensive catalog of free / low-cost online courses? I sure didn't! I compiled an insanely long list of them for myself because a lot of them look really interesting. The list I made isn't totally comprehensive, so I recommend looking through their actual catalog if you want to scroll through them yourself.
These courses are not credit-bearing, but since they don’t rely on prerequisites you can take whatever you want! Highly recommend for students of any age who are interested in building their resume to apply to undergraduate or graduate programs and / or to build your resume post-grad for job applications.
