18 courses with the subject ISCS, 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.
ISCS 170Computer Applications3
The course utilizes several common business software applications to explore how these tools are used in typical business environments. The course enhances the students’ knowledge of tools needed for upper-level courses in the College of Business and Economics, as well as their knowledge of computer concepts that are required in the business world.
The course emphasizes analysis of existing systems and designs of new systems using common structured and object-oriented modeling tools. It also includes the development of information systems from the analysis of present information flow, system specifications, and modeling.
Selected topics in Information Systems and Cyber Security. The topics may vary from semester to semester. May be repeated for credit when topics change.
ISCS 370Principles of Management Information Systems3
An overview of information systems in the modern business environment including an exploration of Artificial Intelligence applications and how they can be used to empower organizations through increased efficiency and enabling new processes. The importance of an organization’s data assets and the various ways organizations leverage analytics to understand consumer behavior, business trends, and more is stressed throughout the course. The course explores changing job roles enabled by advances in technology to prepare students in all business disciplines for post-graduate success.
A study of voice and data communications concepts, including network components, strategies, topologies, planning and design issues, security considerations, evaluation/performance criteria, and management control requirements. Topics cover physical components as well as theoretical issues. Course includes in-class lectures as well as hands-on lab experiences with physical media, microcomputer connectors, and network operating systems.
This class focuses on cyber security as well as corresponding cyber law, policy, and methods and tools for gaining forensic information from computer systems and networks. It includes case studies of cyber crimes as well as information on the capabilities and limitations of forensics techniques used in the analysis of cyber crime.
This is a fundamental required course as part of an interdisciplinary curriculum that is very much in demand in today’s society. This course covers cyber forensics as part of one of the three academic areas in the interdisciplinary curriculum. The three areas covered are cyber security, cyber forensics, and cyber policy and law. It includes case studies of cyber-crimes as well as the application and management of cyber forensics. The course introduces students to forensics tools using hands-on experience and the Internet.
This course will evaluate cyber security open source intelligence tools that are used by organizations when performing initial stage reconnaissance, black and white hat hackers, and agencies creating DOX reports on corporations and individuals. Various tools will be leveraged to create a target profile, such as reverse imaging, social networks, IP address and geographic location identifications, etc. Supporting case studies will be examined.
This class provides a general overview of cloud computing and cloud security as well as hands-on work in the AWS cloud computing environment. Students will gain managerial insights in cloud computing and also complete hands-on labs that manipulate and configure primary cloud systems in AWS. Emphasis is on applying and securing information systems in the cloud.
