Description

Course Description

This course provides an introduction to network security, web security, reverse engineering, penetration testing, and network forensics. The forms of the attacks and the detection and defense of the attacks will be discussed. Students will be exposed to tools and techniques employed in network monitoring, web security, and penetration testing. Assignments will explore the difficulties and challenges in planning for and conducting an assessment exposing potential vulnerabilities. Students will examine the areas of intrusion detection, evidence collection, network auditing, network security policy design and implementation as well as preparation for and defense against attacks. The key elements of risk management (risk analysis, risk assessment, and vulnerability assessment) as well as relevant methodologies will be introduced and explored.

Learning Objectives

Recognize and discuss the possible security exploitation opportunities
Identify the traits of hackers and describe the techniques that they can use to gain unauthorized access to a networked computer system
Develop a plan for a penetration test
Employ various tools to assess and address network security issues, web security, and reserve engineering
Describe various network monitoring solutions and issues
Discuss the fundamental principles of risk management and its key elements
Understand laws and other policy measures that govern cybersecurity threats and incidents
