Seeks to provide a systematic understanding of cyberspace technology and applications deployed in the global digital infrastructure. Covers topics in computer networks, server architectures, operating systems, and scripting. All the techniques and tools included in the course are oriented to serve as instruments of security administrators and cybersecurity professionals. Uses practical hands-on labs running on virtual machines and containers hosted in the cloud computing environment to train students. For that reason, a practical overview of virtualization technologies, containerization, and cloud computing models is provided.
Provides an overview of various software security threats and some of the most effective countermeasures used to thwart both well-known and newly emerging software security threats. Introduces best practices and tools available to help minimize common software security attacks, recognizing that it is impossible to accomplish “perfect security” in software. Also studies secure coding concepts, tools, and practices in a high-level programming language.
Introduces information security via concepts of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Discusses ethical, legal, and privacy ramifications while reviewing various laws, such as the Patriot Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the General Data Protection Regulation. Covers security methods, controls, procedures, economics of cybercrime, criminal procedure, and forensics.
