The world of interconnected computing devices surrounds us today and will continue to influence almost everything in our lives. The blood of computer networks are small packets of data that behave by means of the TCP/IP protocol. Initially TCP/IP wasn't designed with security in mind and only after vulnerabilities were discovered did the field of computer security develop. The term €œcyber could be used for many things but today it is accepted as any information in a digital data form. Hence Cyber Security is about protecting that digital data from the many dangers that can destroy it. In this course students will learn about data protection and risk. We will discuss threats to computer systems and defensive strategies. Students will gain knowledge of protocols and how they work as well as the tools to measure them. Additionally, Cyber Security best practices will be shared.
