The Computer Security course gives a broad overiew of cybersecurity. The approach is largely technical, but the course will also address the important societal implications of security (or rather lack of security). Roughly, security deals with how to protect your system against intentional intrusions and attacks. The purpose of intrusions can be made to change or delete resourses (data, programs, hardware), to get unauthorized access to confidential information or unauthorized use of the system's services. The course covers threats and vulnerabilities as well as rules, methods and mechanisms for protection. During a few lectures, a holistic security approach is taken and organizational, business-related, social, human, legal and ethical aspects are treated.
The Computer security course is the first within our Security specialization.
