Admission requirements
Admission only after intake, see website of the Cyber Security Academy
Admission only for those students who are enrolled in the technical track.
Description
In this course attention is paid briefly to the processing of sensitive data based on cryptography and the usage of anonymisation techniques.
In addition to this, this course deals with security management, security design principles, security in architecture and resilience engineering.
Whereas in modules Measures and Interventions and Ict systems of the technical track attention was paid to the characteristics of ICT systems, types of attacks and possible security measures, the main aim of this course 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
