To add to Suresh's list, Iowa State University (iastate.edu) offers a graduate major program and an undergraduate minor program in cyber security (a.k.a. Information Assurance). They also run an annual cyber defense competition (ISEAGE).

Not a MOOC. But several schools now have graduate programs in security. Off the top of my head, Georgia Tech, UAB, GMU ..
They might offer some shorter courses as well, for working professionals. Take a look.

1. Start with one or more engineers who aren't "fresh". This is more expensive, potentially much more expensive, but it's much more likely to result in success than trying to feed a crash course in security into the brains of people who've never done any of this before. Even if all those experienced people do is stop you from making well-known mistakes, then the investment will be more than worth it.
2. I see that several academic programs were mentioned downthread; one that I'd add to the list is UMBC, which is excellent.

To add to the academic programs -
CU Boulder has an excellent telecom program for network security and network engineering; one of their courses focuses solely on SP networks (full disclosure: I am a CU Boulder alumnus).

Thank you guys for all your academic recommendation, unfortunately we are not US residents, so can you recommend the references/books/curriculum used in the mentioned programs? Thanks, Ramy
