Description

Information Systems Security is a rapidly evolving field with new technologies, models, methods and paradigms, emerging each year. Recent world events have also heightened public awareness of security issues. This means that people involved in information systems security are required to continually update their knowledge and awareness of developments.
This course aims to review concepts, theory, methodologies and techniques discussed in the IS security literature and current practice. You will undertake case study exercises using the University's computing facilities and laboratories to provide you with a better understanding of computerised security techniques used in practice.
A particular emphasis of this course is the development of your critical thinking/awareness skills in order to ensure they are able to contribute, in an informed and flexible way, to discussions during the course and later in your employment. You are encouraged to relate theory to practice, with particular emphasis on reflections on your own experiences.
