Managing Network and Data Security. 3 credits

Catalog description

The course covers principles and practices of assessing network and data security needs, and implementation of the necessary security plan for communication networks and organizational data. The course addresses databases as well as unstructured data in files, including securing cloud infrastructure. More specifically, the course will focus on database security principles, database auditing, database reliability and implementation of database controls and security. In context of CIA triad of information security, threat classifications to the communication networks are discussed: eavesdropping (confidentiality), man-in-the-middle (integrity), and denial-of-service (availability). Real world examples of attack methods and cases of database breaches are discussed, as well as attacks on communication networks and networked applications are discussed to translate principles into reality.
