12 courses with the subject CYBR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CYBR 590Network Technology and Infrastructure (optional, does not count towards the degree) (3 cr.)
The course introduces the foundations of network infrastructures and network technology. It covers the OSI model in depth, including TCP/IP, and introduces basic switching and routing concepts. Students investigate physical network components, logical structures, common protocols, and network security as well as understand the standards, design, architecture, and operation of networks. The course also prepares students for the CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam.
This course provides an overview and foundational understanding of concepts essential to the cybersecurity professional to evaluate best practices in implementing security systems within the enterprise. This course covers key bodies of knowledge in security, privacy, and compliance. Topics include security planning, risk management, security technologies, basic cryptography, digital forensics, application security, intrusion detection and prevention, physical security, and privacy issues.
CYBR 610Network Security and Intrusion Detection (3 cr.)
This course provides a comprehensive overview of network security and intrusion detection. Students focus on methods for securing networks, and utilize these methods in basic architectural design. Students apply these methods into a cohesive network security strategy. Topics include investigation of areas such as data analysis and interpretation, threat/intrusion detection, vulnerability management, incident response and security architecture. The course also prepares students for the CompTIA CySA+ Certification Exam.
This course describes the business context in which a cybersecurity professional must function within an organization. Students examine the interplay between business process and cybersecurity issues in mitigating security threats. An overview of audit, compliance, regulation, and liability for business security, along with how to construct effective continuity and disaster recovery plans, is provided.
In this course, students examine the role of security policies, standards, and procedures in addressing business and technical security risks. Students explore the types of policies that are part of an overall security strategy. Policies are discussed that drive computer security, including discretionary access control, mandatory access control, and role-based access control types of policies, and how these are used in organizations. Students develop policies and deployment plans as part of the comprehensive strategic plan for the enterprise.
This course includes a study of the existing risk management frameworks, models, processes, and tools to provide students with the theory and practical knowledge to operationalize risk management in an organization or government agency. Additionally, fundamental concepts in information technology security audit and control processes for an organization are discussed. Students learn to create a control structure and audit an information technology infrastructure.
CYBR 630Communication and Ethics for Cybersecurity Professionals (3 cr.)
This course introduces students to the foundations of communication in a business setting as a critical component for success in the workplace. Students develop a foundation for designing effective messages, both written and oral, from concept to delivery. This course emphasizes elements of persuasive communication: how to design messages for diverse and possibly resistant audiences and how to present that information in a credible and convincing way.
This course introduces techniques for information distribution in such a way that data privacy is protected. It discusses models and frameworks for privacy protection that support privacy enhancements from economic, legal, and policy perspectives. Fundamentals of cryptographic theory and practice along with its applications are introduced in topics such as classical and contemporary ciphers, encryption and decryption, breaking ciphers, cryptographic protocols, and analysis tools.
CYBR 645Incident Response and Investigation (3 cr.)
This course introduces the principles and best practices for incident response, along with an overview of digital forensics. Students understand the goals of incident response and learn how to prepare and respond to information security incidents and understand how the incident occurred. Students understand the process of collecting and analyzing data, and the process of remediation. The course outlines the investigative and analysis process, tools, digital evidence, and applicable law with a focus on computer, mobile, network, and database forensics.
This course includes a study of theoretical and practical aspects of network and web application penetration testing. Students are able to evaluate the security of a network or system’s infrastructure and outline how hackers find and attempt to exploit any vulnerabilities. Included in the course are in-depth details on ethical hacking, including reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, exploitation, maintaining access, and covering tracks. Current tools and methodologies are stressed.
