1. Objectives of the Course

The evolution of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and growing security concerns demands flexible
and generally comprehensive approach to the issue of cyber security. The rapid growth of ICT has raised various
complex questions which need to be addressed. A need has been felt to address cyber security broadly, as also
in sufficient depth so that even students from non-technical streams will develop a more complete picture of
the cyber security issues. The main objectives of the course are:
• To create more aware, responsive and responsible digital citizens, thereby contributing
effectively to an overall healthy cyber security posture and ecosystem
• To Help students to feel justifiably confident of their ability to understand cyber security issues.
• Secure both clean and corrupted systems, protecting personal data, securing simple computer
networks, and safe Internet usage.

CLO01 Acquire Information and risk models including confidentiality, integrity and availability.
CLO02 Understand the cyber security and threat landscape.

CLO03 Develop a deeper understanding and familiarity with various types of cyberattacks, cyber crimes,
vulnerabilities and remedies thereto.
CLO04 Comprehend governance, regulatory, legal, economic, environmental, social and ethical contexts
of cyber security.

CLO05 Implement measures for self-cyber-protection as well as societal cyber-protection.
