Computer Security majors use creativity and technical knowledge to detect, mitigate, and protect against threats to information security.
What do Computer Security B.I. Students Study?
Computer security is the study of computer science with information and network security. It encompasses both the study of theoretical analysis and the practical problems of protecting networks, computers, and data.
Courses
Covers the installation and configuration of mainstream operating systems, important network services, disaster recovery procedures, and techniques for ensuring the security of the system.
Course focuses on the basic network and protocol concepts and principles with practical hands-on exercises on network management, network programming, and network planning through the use of industry simulators. Topics include: Internet protocols and routing, local area networks, basic TCP/IP programming, congestion control, packet switching and routing, quality-of-service, and network management.
Students will learn basic cryptography, user authentication, access control, malicious software, network attacks and protection, software security, and operating system security. Students will also perform hands-on security lab exercises.
Basic security issues in computer communication, classical cryptographic algorithms, symmetric-key cryptography, public-key cryptography, authentication, and digital signatures.
