Computer Science 30 AP–Cybersecurity Credential

As an AP Career Kickstart™ course, AP Cybersecurity offers students the opportunity to earn an employerendorsed credential in the cybersecurity field. The AP Cybersecurity Credential validates an emerging cyber defender’s skills to determine, evaluate, and recommend a comprehensive set of security mitigations on computer networks, individual devices, physical spaces, and data/applications. High school students earn the credential after taking a yearlong AP Cybersecurity course and then achieving a qualifying score on the AP Cybersecurity Exam. Students learn about common threats and vulnerabilities and how they combine to create risk. Students study how individuals and organizations manage risk and how risk can be mitigated through a defense-in-depth strategy. Students explore specific vulnerabilities, attacks, mitigations, and detection measures across a variety of domains including physical spaces, computer networks, devices, and data and applications.
