15 courses with the subject CYSO, 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.
in Cyberspace Credit 3. Study of ethical issues, legal resources and recourses, and policy implications inherent in our evolving online society. Provides an overview of the ethical challenges faced by individuals and organizations in the information age. Introduces the complex and dynamic state of the law as it applies to behavior in cyberspace. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
An introduction to the various technical and administrative aspects of Infor- mation Security and Assurance. This course provides the foundation for understanding the key issues associated with protecting information assets, determining the levels of protection and response to security incidents, and designing a consistent, reasonable information security system, with appro- priate intrusion detection and reporting features. The purpose of the course is to provide the student with an overview of the field of Information Security and Assurance. Students will be exposed to the spectrum of Security activi- ties, methods, methodologies, and procedures. Coverage will include inspec- tion and protection of information assets, detection of and reaction to threats to information assets, and examination of pre- and post-incident procedures, technical and managerial responses and an overview of the Information Security Planning and Staffing functions. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
An overview of methodologies, tools and techniques for producing secure software systems. Students will cooperatively develop a secure software product. The course will also provide an introduction to professional resources and ethical issues for software developers. Prerequisites: CYSO 582.
Cryptographic techniques to achieve confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation are examined. The underlying mathematical concepts are introduced. Topics to be covered include symmetric and public key encryption, hashing, digital signatures, cryptographic protocols and other recent developments in the field. Prerequisite: CSC 510 or CSCO 510.
and Incident Handling Credit 3. Identifying, acquiring, preserving, and analyzing electronic evidence from single machines, networks, and Internet. It will explore both technical and legal issues of computer forensics investigations. Topics include forensics law and regulation issues, incidence response, open and commercial tools, evidence recovery theory and practice of computer file systems, memory, registry, network logs and communications. Special focus will be given to windows systems and networks. Prerequisite: CYSO 582.
and Malicious Software Credit 3. This course involves the study of malicious software (malware) including computer viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Topics include the various mechanisms used in the construction of malicious software; existing commercial anti-virus software; preventative and reactive means for dealing with malicious software on workstations, servers, and in networks; training and education of users; and reliable sources to monitor for alerts as well as the prevention of hoaxes. Prerequisite: CYSO 582. Hampton University 2026-2028
and Network Security Credit 3. Introduction to security problems in computing and networking. Informa- tion Security Models. Encryption and decryption techniques. Cryptographic protocols and practices. Operations Security. Program Security. Security in networks and distributed systems. Database Security. Electronic commerce security. Legal and ethical issues in computer and network security. Prereq- uisite: CYSO 582.
Management and Certification Credit 3. Outlines the principles of systems security administration, management, and certification. Provisioning, procurement and installation of network, hardware and software systems for mission critical enterprises. System configuration and maintenance. Incident handling and response. Facilities Management. Contingency Plans. Law, standards of contract. Operations Management. System certification, testing and validation. Prerequisite: CYSO 582.
Outlines the aspects of computer security and risk management. Accredita- tion, implementation, extension, and operation principles for secure informa- tion systems. Security policy and plan development. Contingency, continuity and disaster recovery planning. Incident handling and response. Prerequisite: CYSO 582.
for Senior Management Credit 3. Develops the knowledge necessary for senior security management to analyze and judge the reported systems for validity and reliability to ensure such systems will operate at a proposed trust level. Topical review and discussion on current trends in cybersecurity standard and CISSP certifi- cation. Includes grant final approval to operate, grant review accreditation, verify compliance, ensure establishment of security controls, ensure program managers define security in acquisitions, assign responsibilities, define criti- cality and sensitivity, allocate resources, multiple and joint accreditation, assess network security. Prerequisite: CYSO 582.
and Intrusion Detection Credit 3. Provides a comprehensive overview of network security and intrusion detec- tion. Topics include security overview, authentication, attacks and malicious code, communication security, Web security, network security topolo- gies, intrusion detection, firewalls and VPNs, security baselines, security algorithms, physical security, disaster recovery, forensics overview, and other state-of-the-art developments. Prerequisite: CYSO 582.
Examines security of wireless networks which have become ubiquitous such as cellular networks, wireless LANs, mobile ad hoc networks, wireless mesh networks, and sensor networks. Unprotected wireless networks are vulner- able to several security attacks including eavesdropping and jamming that have no counterpart in wired networks. Topics will include: authentication, secure hand-offs, key management in wireless networks, attacks on MAC protocols, selfish and malicious behavior in wireless routing protocols, secure multicast. Prerequisite: CYSO 582.
Covers theoretical and applied aspects of security and privacy needed for the middleware and service-ware architectures to offer reasonable assurance for modern distributed systems. Topics include cloud computing, distributed storage systems, virtualization, distributed systems architectures, technolo- gies and management; distributed system design, security and privacy issues; and applications such as Web services and mobile commerce. Prereq- uisite: CYSO 582.
