As the newest edition to the Computer Science department, the cybersecurity program will bring an operational focus to defending an organization’s environment. Scheduled to start in the Fall 2021, students will have both a BS and BAS route to customize their education. The curriculum is built on top of the existing Computer Science courses by adding a cross section of cybersecurity topics. Students will be exposed to topics for different specializations of cybersecurity, with an emphasis on hands-on application.
A study of basic radio frequency communication & the associated security implementations. This course provides students with a foundation in how systems communicate over various wireless technologies, such as WiFi, RFID & Bluetooth and the actions taken to secure them. Prerequisites: Math 111, CS 162 or equivalent
A hands-on examination of cyber security concepts that cover both the defensive and offensive arenas. This course provides students with foundational technical cyber security skills needed for success in both a Windows and Linux environment. Prerequisite: CS 162 or equivalent.
A survey of the principal topics across the information security field. This course provides students a broad understanding of the field, the terminology, and the industry standards governing it. UWR. Prerequisite: CS 162 or equivalent.
An applied study of how to secure Windows and Linux environments. This course provides students the necessary skills to build defensible environments in order to both limit the likelihood of a breach, as well as detect a security incident. Defensive concepts will be paired with the attack scenarios to aid students in understanding why certain actions are preferred. Prerequisite: CS 372
A practical examination of how to respond to a security breach and perform system forensics. This course provides students the skills and knowledge necessary to aid during a security breach or malicious activity at an organization. Topics start with the necessary planning preparations and continue through detecting, containing, performing system forensics, and finally documenting and dealing with law enforcement or governing agencies. Prerequisite: CS 372
A study of reverse engineering applications with a focus on the analysis of malicious software. This course covers a review of assembly languages, the use of a decompiler & debugger, static & behavioral analysis. Students will understand the tools and methodology used to reverse applications, and the techniques used by malware. Prerequisite: CS 372, CS 314 or equivalent.
A pragmatic study of application security from development through deployment. This course provides students the skills for finding common vulnerabilities in software, identifying deployment and configuration failures, understanding how vulnerable software is exploited and documenting findings for business leaders. Prerequisites: CS 372
An in-depth examination of the tactics and techniques used by security professionals to assess the defensive posture of an organization, as well as those used by malicious attackers. This course provides students with the necessary skills to perform “red team” and network penetration assessments used in a corporate environment, as well as provide a foundation in threat intelligence. Prerequisite: CS 372 or equivalent.
