Cyber Security - PICT848
This unit is an introduction to cyber security threats, technologies and management practices within the public and private sectors. The threats faced in the cyber world are very different to those in the physical world. Due to our reliance on technology, a cyber attack can be launched from anywhere as aggressors are neither inhibited by geography nor political borders. This unit will consider these threats in that context. The unit will also provide a sound understanding of the governing principles behind cyber security, the theory and practice behind technology risks and countermeasures and the role that security management plays in the wider picture of forensics analysis, policing, intelligence and counter terrorism.
