Cyber Simulation Event and Analysis

Catalog description

Students apply theoretical skills and knowledge to critically assess solutions to "real world" Cybersecurity problems. This course combines synthesis and analysis of responses to Cybersecurity event simulations with critical thinking to resolve and extend solutions. Students conduct a series of laboratory assignment milestones. Each milestone generates a recommended literature-based resolution (i.e., tools, techniques, and methodologies) to prevent and control real world Cybersecurity attacks. Peer review exposes students to alternative exercise solutions, permitting a critical reflection. Analysis of each milestone is documented and compiled to create a final portfolio of lessons learned, along with new and emerging theoretical responses to the simulated Cybersecurity events. Each milestone in the final portfolio emphasizes literature-based research reflection, enabling the student to expand the frontiers of knowledge through creation of a final scholarly work product.
