Part of the technical track
Description
Whereas in modules ICT systems and Measures and Interventions of the technical track attention was paid to the characteristics of ICT/ICS systems, types of attacks and possible security measures and risk management approaches, in this course the theoretical frameworks are translated into practice.
After a brief introduction to specific practical current applications such as internet, social media, smart grids and cloud computing among others, the aim is that students translate and apply their theoretical /technical knowledge in a specific case (to be determined on the basis of the background and interests of the students, or the actual situation). In groups of 3-4 students, participants design a security architecture and system for the chosen case. They should write a primarily technical report, taking non-technical aspects and possible impact into account. In addition to the report the students should give a presentation for both staff and their colleague-groups.
Course objectives
Participants have:
- understanding of cyber threats and vulnerabilities, incidents and their potential impact
Participants are able to:
identify in a practical case possible attacks, translate them to technical requirements, and the latter to security measures, taking the non-technical aspects into account
translate and apply theoretical knowledge of cyber security to professional practice
weigh business and security risks and to define technical requirements
translate technical understanding into a multidisciplinary oriented policy
