Secure Programming | BCYN504 |
| This course presents a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence regarding Information System’s security incidents caused by an adversary externally or internally. Security incidents will be objectively evaluated to analyze each case and create an audit report with findings. In this course, students will learn the IT auditing life cycle, from information gathering, planning, testing, reporting and issue tracking, etc. Students will also learn the overall IT audit framework and methodology and how IT audit fits into the overall internal audit function. This course is delivered through lectures, labs and assignments and technical reports. The prerequisite of this course is the principles of cybersecurity. | Information Auditing and Assurance | BCYN605 |
| Network Security is the discipline that involves implementing measures to protect computer networks from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber threats. It entails safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information as it is transmitted and stored within a network. Network security professionals utilize various tools and techniques to identify, prevent, and respond to potential security risks, including firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection systems, vulnerability assessments and Monitoring Traffic on the Network and analysis. The field of network security is essential in ensuring the secure operation of networks in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.
