Capstone Experience

Catalog description

This course is a laboratory-based course that requires students to apply skills and knowledge from previous coursework to "real world" cybersecurity scenarios and problems. The course combines analyses of cybersecurity issues with the critical thinking required to resolve them. Students will be faced with a variety of laboratory assignments spanning a wide range of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and scenarios they must deal with. Each module's laboratory assignment requires a thorough analysis in order to apply the proper tools and techniques for a successful resolution. Peer reviews of work ensure that students grow in their understanding of the skills involved for a given exercise and in their ability to judge alternate approaches to resolution.
