Course Overview

We now live in the information age, where digitised information and computerisation play an ever-increasing role. Unfortunately, cyberthreats and cyberattacks are also on the rise. Given these worrying trends, cybersecurity is thus very important to safeguard our sensitive information as well as governmental and industrial information systems from data theft and other damage attempted by cybercriminals.

This course serves as an introduction to cybersecurity. It covers the foundations of cybersecurity, and explains important key cybersecurity concepts and basic techniques, including: cryptography, Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI), secure channel using TLS/SSL, network security protocols, access control in Operating Systems, secure programming, as well as Web security. The course also illustrates the fundamentals of how systems can fail due to malicious attacks, and how they can subsequently be protected and hardened. Several cybersecurity tools are also used to demonstrate how relevant cybersecurity techniques can work in practice.

The course is targeted at those who need to learn the foundations of cybersecurity in order to help support security systems, operations administration, monitoring and maintenance of cybersecurity systems and applications.
