SI 630: Security in the Digital World
As reliance on information technology has increased, so have the risks associated with malicious and unauthorized access to IT resources, including databases containing institutional and personal information, computing systems, and network and infrastructure components. Protecting these resources is of critical importance to organizations and to the individuals whose information is held by them.
This course introduces students to the theory and practice of computer security. Put another way, students examine the promises made by the mathematics, the technology that implements it, and the reality of software systems -- the things people know and do, and the relationships between people and between people and machines that critically affect the security of our computing systems.
Students taking this course obtain a comprehensive, high-level understanding of security issues in information technology systems. Along the way, students discuss security options and concerns everyone in the digital world should consider.
