| Content: This course focuses on basic concepts of securing digital information present in computer systems and networks. The modern world relies on information and its flows and protecting that information is essential for the stakeholders. Information security is achieved through securing assets of a computer system including its hardware, software, data, and processes. In this course, we will look into such topics relevant to information security including i) common security vulnerabilities in computer systems, ii) security of platforms e.g. operating systems, Web, and databases, iii) techniques for cryptography, iv) intrusion detection and protection in computer networks, v) physical security, and vi) techniques for secure system development. After completing the course the students will be able to analyze computer systems and networks from an information security perspective and suggest and apply appropriate countermeasures |

Teaching Methods: The employeed teaching methods are anchored in flipped classroom and case-based learning. Flipped classroom means focusing on exploring topics in greater depth and creating meaningful learning opportunities in class time, while content delivery is made outside of the classroom. Case-based learning means that scenarios from real-world examples are used to as a point of departure for in class activities and assignments. In this course these theaching methods are implemented through online lectures, individual readings, in-class activities based on cases, and group assignments based on cases. |
