Handbook

A large part of this course deals with various details of cyber offensive and defensive principles, following the cyber kill chain methodology. In the context of these principles, students will learn about the legal and ethical aspects of being a cyber professional in the industry or the military, risk assessment and incident response strategies that can be taken, developments in cryptography, and the intricacies of wireless network security. Drawing on a threat–vulnerability–countermeasure paradigm combined with real-world examples demonstrated in a closed lab environment, students will gain an understanding of the link between security theory and technical computer and network security. Students will learn to comprehend formal and technical principles underlying security testing and assurance as they implement and test security.
