This course teaches the foundations of cybersecurity and its applications in cyber risk assessment, identification of cyberattacks and threats, and controls for defenses and recovery. Fundamentals of cybersecurity are covered in sufficient breadth and depth so that the students can analyze systems for weaknesses, design a security policy, and identify controls that will help enforce security policies. Where applicable, real life case studies will be discussed to learn why security systems fail. [Department(s): School of Computer Science][Offering(s): Not offered through Distance Education]
