Admission requirements
Admission only after intake, see https://www.csacademy.nl/en/education/master-s-programmes/executive-master-s-programme-cyber-security.
Admission only for those students who are enrolled in the technical track.
Description
In the first part of the course attention will be paid to present ICT and Industrial Control Systems as well as networks. Specific attention will be paid to their attacks and vulnerabilities. The second part of the course handles the security principles and the available technical security measures and their meaning for cyber security, both repressive and preventive. The basic security mechanisms like identification, integrity, authentication and authorisation are given. After a short introduction to (a)symmetric cryptography and key management the various cryptographic algorithms and methods for the various security mechanisms are considered as well as their corresponding (inter)national standards. Attention is paid to architecture models and standards and the technical aspects of the management of security services.
The role of datamining techniques for detection of anomalies and potential fraud is considered. Although most security measures are digital, finally physical security measures are unavailable, e.g. secure key storage. We also look at security modules and the physical security of devices and attacks on e.g. smartcards.
Course objectives
Participants have:
understanding of the basics and characteristics of present ICT systems and networks, their vulnerabilities and their meaning in practice.
understanding of the basic security functions like identification, authentication and access control.
basic knowledge of datamining techniques for anomalies, fraud and intrusion detection.
basic knowledge about the available cryptographic algorithms and standards for implementation of security functions as mentioned above.
Participants are able to:
decide on the basis of technical requirements which cryptographic algorithms should be applied.
design a system for intrusion detection on the basic of datamining techniques methods.
explain and discuss technical aspects of choice of security measures with various kind of experts in organizations.

On the Public Administration front page of the E-guide you will find links to the website, uSis and Blackboard.
Resit
Students will be permitted to resit an examination if they have taken the first sit and have a mark lower than 5.5 or with permission of the Board of Examiners.
Resit written exam
Students that want to take part in a resit for a written exam, are required to register via uSis. Use the activity number that can be found on the ‘timetable exams’.
Blackboard
Yes, for posting slides of lectures, relevant literature and assignments.
Reading list
Compulsory literature and literature for further consultation will be announced via Blackboard.
Registration
Use both uSis and Blackboard to register for every course.
Register for every course and workgroup via uSis. Some courses and workgroups have a limited number of participants, so register on time (before the course starts). In uSis you can access your personal schedule and view your results. Registration in uSis is possible from four weeks before the start of the course.
Also register for every course in Blackboard. Important information about the course is posted here.
