Press Release Summary = Eric Salveggio, IT Program Director at Virginia College Online, is working with Pearson on a cyber forensics textbook.
Press Release Body = Eric Salveggio, Virginia College Online\'s IT Program Director and Chief Security Officer, recently edited a cyber security textbook. Salveggio is also working on a test bank to accompany the textbook, which will be published by Pearson.
The textbook, which teaches principles of cybersecurity such as computer forensics and preventing Internet fraud and hacking, will most likely be integrated into Virginia College Online\'s graduate program in cybersecurity. The Masters of Cybersecurity program instructs students in the secure management of LAN, WLAN, and WAN systems. Through hands-on simulations and labs, students learn about cyber security issues such as operating systems, viruses, and compliance issues. Graduates of the program will know how to manage networks, firewalls, and the secure transfer of data, as well as protecting against Internet fraud and hacking.
Editing textbooks and writing test material is not the only tribute to Salveggio\'s expertise. "Our Masters of Cybersecurity [program] has folks from the Army, Department of Homeland Security, and corporate security either investigating it or taking the course," said Salveggio.
