Stanford offering free online security courses

All,

just figured i would give those of you that are studying for these exams a heads up. Stanford University is offering a number of free online classes.

You can find a list of them here:

They have one on Cryptography, as well as one in Computer Security. Both sound very interesting and sound like they would be beneficial for those studying for these exams.

Enjoy!

Just signed up, thanks for the link!!

I'm a mid-tier sys admin and this past summer completed a cyber security exercise outside of work, and then I plan on doing this outside of work...would these be good things to list on my resume as "extra-curricular"?

The Stanford computer security course is about secure software systems design. It is recommended that the student to be familiar with programming in C/C++. This isn't something you'd need for the Security+ or SSCP, but people needing to brush up on the application security domain of the CISSP CBK could certainly benefit from it.
