| Objectives |
Students will acquire an understanding of the different aspects of system level security. The course will cover protection mechanisms for traditional operating systems for an evolving threat landscape. Techniques used by virus and other malware attacks will be analyzed to determine possible protection and prevention mechanisms. This course will also cover security vulnerabilities in systems and applications, and how they can be identified and remediated. Security in non-traditional systems such as SCADA and the growing security threat in mobile systems will also be covered.
