Outline

Outline

This course provides coverage of aspects of modern computing. It covers fundamental programming and theoretical knowledge followed by an opportunity to specialise in Cyber Security The courses offers coverage of the key concepts and challenges in data and resource protection and computer software security. There are a focus on both the high level (e.g. cryptography theory and data access policy development and security program management) and low level practical (e.g. computer forensics, network intrusion detection and incident handling) aspects of computer security. The addition of programming techniques differentiates this course from more policy-based options. The aim of this course is to prepare the students for the areas of ICT stated to be most in-demand and for positions that are most difficult to fill.
