(SCTP Module) System Security
About This Course
This course covers cybersecurity in modern networked computer systems. Key topics include operating system (OS) and software security, network security, and web security. Students will explore the root causes and methods of major cybersecurity attacks, learning how these exploits take advantage of vulnerabilities in practical computing systems to cause harm. The course also introduces the foundational principles of cybersecurity defenses and how to apply them to protect real-world systems. These concepts are reinforced through hands-on experimentation with real-world software tools, applications, infrastructures, and protocols.
What You'll Learn
(ii) Exploit these vulnerabilities to achieve attacks that compromise various key cybersecurity properties.
(iii) Design and analyze solutions to defend against the attacks.
(iv) Implement or apply these solutions in practice.
Entry Requirements
'(i) Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education at the university or pre-university level, e.g., O-level, A-level, JC, undergraduate, or graduate.
(ii) General experiences in using computers and software applications.
