Short Course in Cyber Security

Short Course in Cyber Security will provide learners with the underlying theory and practical skills required to secure networks and to send data safely and securely over network communications (including securing the most common Internet services). This module provides a look at the technologies employed to secure a network. It is designed to provide learners with knowledge of the fundamental principles and techniques employed in securing information and networks.

The module will allow learners to assess the security risks inherent in computer networks and the technologies that can be employed to counter such risks. It covers cryptographic algorithms from a mathematical point of view, including practical examples of breaking codes.

Once the learners have knowledge of the different types of algorithm, cryptographic protocols are introduced for accomplishing a varied set of tasks, including authentication, secure message exchange, digital signatures, etc. Other aspects of network security are then dealt with, such as access control devices and firewalls, VPN, NAT, malware, vulnerability assessment, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), etc.
