The main goal of the course is to provide students who approach cybersecurity with little-to-none previous background with a socio-techno-economic perspective of current security and privacy phenomena in the Internet, how we got here, and what might be done about it. Specifically, the course provides a historical perspective on the development of the cybersecurity discipline and an overview of the main themes in the following topics: opponents and the current cyberthreat landscape; the underground economy of cybercrime; vulnerabilities, exploits and their markets; privacy and surveillance --including commercial surveillance--, and state-sponsored cyberoperations.
