About this course

Edukero Information Security（Code: 2225）

Outline and Objectives
In this course students learn information security, in both management aspect and technical aspect. Students understand of various types of security incidents and attacks, and learn methods to prevent, detect and react incidents and attacks. Students will also learn application of cryptography which are one of the key technology to implement security functions. This course is 100% practical.
At the last session, teams of students will make presentation of their study project for a topic related to information security.

Goals (Attainment Targets)
(1) To be able to explain various Information security threat and controls for it.
(2) To be able to analyze a security incidents and design countermeasures.
(3) To be able to explain information security incident response.
(4) To be able to explain the usage of Common Key cryptography and Public Key cryptography.
(5) To be able to explain the mechanism to protect confidentiality and completeness of data.

Requirements
Fundamentals of Computer Systems (achievement of attainment targets is required).

Course Schedule
(Notice) This course is a live Face-To-Face session, All session will be recorded and uploaded to the student dashboard, you will work on projects, Assignment, Group Projects, and at the end of the training you will earn a professional certification.
