This course introduces the fundamental principles, methods, and tools of visual analytics that enable security and risk analysts to synthesize information and derive insight from massive, dynamic, ambiguous, and often conflicting data. Decisions in risk and security management are increasingly driven by data. Analysts are faced with a continuously growing set of data originated from a wide range of sources and in a wide variety of formats. Such data need to be analyzed in order to understand a situation and react promptly. This causes significant information overload to analysts and prevents them from developing good situation awareness. Visual Analytics (VA) offers an effective solution for making sense of massive datasets by exploiting interactive visualization technologies to extend human cognitive abilities. It helps analysts in detecting the expected and discover the unexpected, providing timely, defensible, and in communicating findings and assessment effectively for action. SRA 268 provides students with a quick overview of the current state of the art in visual analytics and their applications in data-driven security investigation and risk assessment. It prepares students with advanced data analytic skills and critical thinking with data. Cases studies and projects showcase the applications of visual analytics in cyber security and intelligence analysis, emergency and crisis management, and business intelligence.

This intermediate course is appropriate for students majoring in Security and Risk Analysis. This course provides students with the background, experience and perspective required to document risk and identify policies and procedures that effectively deal with hazards and threats to which the organization is vulnerable, jeopardizing its mission. This writing intensive course requires students to identify and assess organization risks, and recommend controls to executive decision makers. Individual and group writing assignments provide practical experience preparing organizational-level documents that effectively communicate the risk context, risk analysis (e.g., identification and assessment), risk communication, and risk control elements for a risk management plan. Students receive and provide peer feedback on writing assignments, as well as instructor feedback, with the goal of improving writing skills and conforming writing styles to organization and industry expectations.

Cyber-crime and cyber-warfare are among the most critical areas facing information security professionals. Both have emerged as strategic issues facing the United States. This importance is recognized by NSA, DHS and industry. This course will familiarize students with the history, tools, methods, players, laws and policies regarding cyber-crime and cyber-warfare. This course will add to the offerings in the MPS Information Security and Forensics major as well as the SRA BS ICS and IAM options. Enforced Prerequisite at Enrollment: SRA 111 and SRA 231
The objective of this course is to develop a spatial perspective on risk analysis empower students with GIS spatial data representation, visualization, and analysis methods that are fundamental to the spatial analysis of risk. Risk analysis is critical for public safety agencies and insurance companies, land developers, and by government planners for better disaster preparedness. Geographical Information systems and associated spatial analytical tools are widely used to characterize hazards (earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones and floods) and their impacts of life, properties, and environment. Through a set of lectures, labs, and projects, students will develop skills and competencies in mapping hazards, exposure, and vulnerabilities, and integrating these risk components through geospatial relationships. A state-of-the-art GIS software (such as ArcGIS) will be used to support practical data processing (filtering, subsetting, reclassification), GIS analysis (location queries, buffer analysis, and spatial join/overlay), and visualization.
Provides in-depth study of how security informatics is influenced by the risk and post-modern culture. SRA 471 Informatics, Risk, and the Post-Modern World (3)The post-modern world provides a changing climate and context for defining and understanding threats, intelligence, decisions, and risk. Likewise, post-modern cultures consist of beliefs that are heavily influenced by psychology, social connectivity, collective behavior, religion, ethnicity, and political systems. This system of systems is heavily dependent upon and influenced by information, information technology, and the web (social informatics). When examining human behavior as it impacts risk, these various social-technical factors must be

This course examines how information and communication technologies have played a role in saving lives' specifically in the areas of technologies used toward emergency response. It explores disaster response and the inter-connectedness of information, people, and technologies in a crisis. In particular, it examines how information is managed, organized, coordinated, and disseminated during a crisis; it analyzes information needs and seeking behaviors during a crisis, and explores how information and communication technologies can support communities in a crisis. Students reflect on lessons learned from past crises, and develop strategies to manage future crises. This course will equip students with the knowledge and skills to enable them to be key players in crisis response. Enforced Prerequisite at Enrollment: SRA 111 and SRA 211
