Cyber Operations (CY) CY-1000 Introduction to Cybersecurity–Fa 3 hours This course provides a broad overview of key cybersecurity concepts and practices and broadly characterizes the organizational security landscape. It is structured as a series of ordered modules that cover foundational security principles, organization risk management, and adversarial thinking as an organizing narrative for a series of other modules on data security, system security, and internet security. Practical skills such as cyber hygiene and personal device protection for personal security are also emphasized. Students will be taught how to evaluate the social, political, cultural, and economic impact of security in cyberspace from a biblical perspective. (Fee: $50) CY-2310 Cyber Forensics–Sp 3 hours This course provides students with the necessary information and hands-on experience with common software tools and command-line applications to prepare them for responding to cybersecurity incidents within their organization. In this course, students will learn basic processes for incident response and become familiar with the typical processes used in responding to an incident. These processes include creating an incident response plan, acquiring evidence, analyzing the collected evidence, and preparing written reports for both internal organizational use and in a courtroom. Prerequisite: CY-1000 Introduction to Cybersecurity. (Fee: $50) CY-3320 Linux Systems Programming–Fa 3 hours A study of the Linux operating system with special emphasis given to developing low-level programming skills in C and assembly language for the purpose of understanding Linux’s separation of user- and kernel-space features, system code, and how to develop kernel modules. In addition to the emphasis on low-level programming, students will study various system administration skills, scripting languages, administration and programming tools, and gain a better understanding of capabilities and limitations of the Linux operating systems (O/S). Students will also learn general information on how the Linux O/S is constructed, including its common organization into subsystems and programmer interfaces. Finally, students will practice administering user capabilities, the file system, access controls, kernel capabilities, and other system services (e.g., firewall, printing and networking) by configuring their own Linux distribution. Prerequisites: CS-2210 Data Structures Using Java; CS-3310 Operating Systems.(Fee: $50) CY-3420 Cyber Defense–Fa 3 hours This course covers fundamental topics in data security, system security, network security, human security, organizational security,and societal security. In labs students will apply security principles and best practices that are necessary for organizations to maintain operations in the presence of risks and threats. Focused attention is paid to cryptography as the technical foundation of cybersecurity. Prerequisites: CY-1000 Introduction to Cybersecurity, CS-1220 Object Oriented Design Using C++. (Fee: $50) CY-4310 Cyber Operations–Sp 3 hours This course covers cyber operations and the best practices for securing a technology infrastructure. Topics include offensive cyber operations, cyber-related legal precedents and regulations, wired and wireless network security, intrusion detection and prevention systems, system hardening, and defense in-depth. This is a hands-on course with a heavy emphasis on virtual machinebased lab exercises.
