CHS2401 - Advanced Cyber Security

Advanced Cyber Security

Conceptualise cyber-crime and necessary technical solutions to overcome core security challenges, including the ability to comment upon and critically appraise scholarship.

Critically evaluate arguments, assumptions, and abstract concepts to identify a suitable solution to a security challenge.

Analyse systematically core aspects of computer and network security. 

Appreciate the limits and ambiguity of knowledge in the fast-progressing cyber-security domain.

Apply methods and techniques to extend and consolidate advanced cyber security knowledge, as well as initiate and carry out projects based on their own knowledge and understanding.

Deploy cyber security software, including vulnerability assessment and intrusion detection software, as well as building on core course knowledge to develop secure, aware and resilient software.
