Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Is your organization looking to develop, analyze or test new cybersecurity applications? In this course, students in the Algonquin College's cybersecurity program will work with your organization to solve a problem or opportunity of your choosing related to cybersecurity.

Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Some final project deliverables might include:
