CS482 CYBER SECURITY ENGINEERING

  • 3.0 credit hours
  • (BS=0.0, ET=3.0, MA=0.0)
  • Version 2019-2
  • Archived
Scope
The focus for this course is to design, build and test secure networked computer systems. Topics covered include operating system and network security, secure network architecture, and offensive and defensive information operations. Practical exercises that give students hands-on experience with current network security tools and techniques complement a series of laboratory exercises that have small groups of cadets secure their own small network. In a culminating exercise, cadets design, build and test defensive measures to protect a production network from intrusions.
