| Course Code | Name | Course Description |
| CIS5000-8 | Introduction to Computer Security | The course provides insights and realistic examples to any practitioners or learners enabling them to understand the crucial links between security theory and the day to day security challenges of IT environments. The text explains the fundamentals of security: the different types of widely used policies, the mechanisms that implement these policies, the principles underlying both policies and mechanism, and how attackers can subvert these tools- as well as how to defend against attackers. A practicum demonstrates how to apply these ideas and mechanism to a realistic company. |
| CIS5002-8 | Corporate Computer and Network Security | This course presents a framework about security threats and security management in corporations. It covers the techniques and mechanisms designed to thwart security threats as well as known methods for exploiting vulnerabilities. Concentration will be placed on the management of the security functions, elements of cryptography and cryptographic systems, access control and site security, incident and disaster response, TCP/IP and how hackers use it to attack organizations, attack methods, attack prevention systems (firewalls and host security), and application security. |
| CIS5003-8 | Cyber Forensics: Collecting, Examining, and Preserving Evidence of Computer and Information Crimes | This course provides a comprehensive, highly usable, and clearly organized approach to the issues, tools, and control techniques needed to successfully investigate illegal activities perpetuated through the use of information technology. It introduces the Learner to the broad field of cyber forensics and presents the various tools and techniques designed to maintain control over an organization. Learners will acquire the ability to identify, gather, document, and preserve evidence of electronic tampering and misuse. It helps the Learner to create appropriate audit procedures and helps the professional protect corporate assets. |
| CIS5008-8 | Risk Management in Information Assurance and Security | The challenges associated with assessing and implementing computer security is an ongoing issue. In this course, an overview of the subject of information technology system security will be presented to discover how to effectively assess and implement security in information technology by abiding by a structured and information-centric process. The Learner will examine the nature of risk and its application to information system security, threats, and vulnerabilities and assessing risk variables. Information states, the security life cycle, and safeguard analysis will also be covered. In addition, the CIA (confidentiality, integrity and availability) model, as a central mechanism to protect information, will be explored in real world settings. |
| CIS6010-8 | Computer Information and Security | This course requires the graduate Learner to complete a set of progressive exercises regarding a specific subject area of Business Management that incorporates analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of business research methods. The Learner will complete a signature exercise in order to demonstrate the ability to synthesize theoretical and conceptual knowledge, professional application, ethical implications, and fundamental areas of research methods and critiques in their chosen field of specialization. Evaluation of peer-reviewed journal articles will include case studies, research studies, real-world scenarios, reports, seminar proceedings, theories, practicum, postulates, and any other scholarly, peer-reviewed data that will complement the specific area of program emphasis. |
