Abstract: | Course Objectives This course gives an in-depth survey of the ever-changing front lines of the battle to secure computer-based information, along with a chance to experiment with offensive and defensive security techniques in a laboratory situation. This course includes both in-person and online components. Specific Objectives Cybersecurity is a competitive game for high stakes waged between offensive and defensive forces. Neither offense nor defense can claim a high moral ground – it all depends on who is paying the bills and for what effect. The goal of this course is help students understand how various attacks work, what their fundamental causes are, how to defend against them, and how various defense mechanisms work. Based on such understanding, students will be prepared to evaluate the risks faced by computer and network systems, detect common vulnerabilities in software, use proper methods to protect systems and networks, and design and implement software systems and applications that are (more) secure against attacks. |
