Cybersécurité : Menaces et organisations, hygiène numérique

This course follows a peculiar format, based on Gildas Avoine' MOOC (link to the MOOC is given during the first class). Since half of the course is video-based, it is mostly organized in reverse-course: students are expected to watch the videos before the corresponding class. Classes will provide complementary information (updates and in-depth look at some notions), and be dedicated to answering the students questions regarding the videos.

Each class will end with a quiz on the videos.

Practical exercises and lab sessions will focus on complementary concepts.
