SYSTEMS FUNDAMENTALS FOR CYBERSECURITY
CYBER 701
A survey of fundamental knowledge for cybersecurity professionals about computer systems and the mathematical principles that they are based on. This course includes an overview of logic, Boolean algebra, and proof techniques; a brief introduction to computer organization and assembly programming; and a tutorial on the Linux operating system.
FUNDAMENTALS OF ETHICAL HACKING
CYBER 730
This course provides a baseline for students to obtain knowledge of assessing the security of computer systems by looking for weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and networks, using the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, but in a lawful and legitimate manner to assess the security posture of a target system.
DATA DRIVEN SECURITY
CYBER 732
This course focuses on the collection and use of data for security intelligence, incident prediction and response, and protection of today's business environment. Topics covered include how to acquire and prepare security data for intelligence and analysis, security data visualization and presentation, and use of statistical and data mining methods to detect and predict security threats.
INTRUSION PREVENTION AND DETECTION
CYBER 754
This course studies security issues arising primarily from computer networks that cover internet protocol attacks, intrusion prevention, and intrusion detection and responses. Topics include TCP/IP protocol attacks and countermeasures, denial of service attacks, firewalls, cryptography, virtual private networks, web security, mathematical foundations for intrusion detection, network-based and host-based intrusion detection, automated and manual response to attacks, and legal/organizational issues.
TOPICS IN CYBERSECURITY
CYBER 759
This course covers emerging topics in cybersecurity. The topics could include new developments in general areas like privacy, cryptography, and cybersecurity law or in recently developed areas like cloud security, wireless security, Internet of things security, blockchain and anonymous computing, and hardware security.
