In this Fundamental of Cyber security, you will be given an extensive overview of the various
COURSE
branches of computing security. You will learn cybersecurity concepts, issues, and tools that are
OVERVIEW:
critical in solving problems in the computing security domain.
You will have opportunities to learn essential techniques in protecting systems and network
infrastructures, analyzing and monitoring potential threats and attacks, devising and implementing
security solutions for organizations large or small.
This course will enable the students to:
COURSE 1. Exhibit knowledge to secure corrupted systems, protect personal data, and secure computer
OBJECTIVES: networks in an organization.
2. Practice with an expertise in academics to design and implement security solutions.
3. Understand key terms and concepts in Cryptography, Governance and Compliance.
4. Develop cyber security strategies and policies
Understand principles of web security and to guarantee a secure network by monitoring and
analyzing the nature of attacks through cyber/computer forensics software/tools.

 engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex
engineering problems.
(Common)
PO 2: Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyse
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of
mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

PO 3: Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering

problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with
appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and
environmental considerations.

PO 4: Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge

and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data,
and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

PO 5: Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources,
and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex
engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

PO 6: The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge
to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues, and the consequent
responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

PO 7: Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional

engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the
knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

PO 8: Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and

responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

PO 9: Individual and teamwork: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member

or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

PO 10: Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities

with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to
comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective
presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

PO 11: Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding

of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a
member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

PO 12: Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability
to engage in
independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
