Curriculum
1.Information Security – A practitioner’s perspective:
Information Security - Practitioner's Perspective is a course in which students will learn and demonstrate their ability to identify computer and network security threats, classify the threats, and develop a security model to prevent, detect, and recover from attacks. They will also learn to encrypt and decrypt messages using block ciphers, sign and verify messages using well known signature generation. Verifying algorithms, analysing of existing authentication and key agreement protocols, and identifying their weaknesses are also a part of the course.
2.Practical Approach to Cyber Security:
Practical Approach to Cyber Security is a course that helps students to empower and enhance their proficiency in cyber security. It provides guidance on cyber security trends, industry best practices, protective measures against cyber threats, and more.
3. Advanced Cyber Security – An Application Approach:
The Advanced Cyber Security - An Application Approach course deals with Cyber Security from an information security management perspective. The course includes application security, secure software development life cycle and emphasises on the need for implementing security in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phase. The course also covers IT strategy management, business continuity planning, planning defence mechanism against cyber attacks, information security standards, information security policy management, access control management and the objectives of security control.
