Course Information  Course Code: ECOM 5347  Course Name: Network Security (Undergraduate Course)  Number of credits: 3 6

Course Description  Principles of practical computer security to enable students to defend themselves against malicious threats. Topics include firewalls, anti-virus, cryptography basics and its application, network technologies and their vulnerabilities. 7

Course Objectives  All students, and most of the general population, use computers and computer-based systems everyday, and entrust those systems with life- critical and cost-critical functions.  In spite of the high level of trust placed in computer-based systems, even advanced computer users have little awareness of their exposure to security threats.  The general lack of understanding of basic computer security concepts leads to increased risk and costs involved in using computers.  This course will introduce computer security basics in a practical way and give students the understanding that they need to protect themselves, and their data, from malicious attack. Students will learn about the mechanisms behind most computer attacks and they will learn about standard defense tools including firewalls and anti-virus programs.  The course will provide a practical introduction to a broad range of computer security topics. 8

Course Outcomes At completion of the course, students should be able to:  Explain common security threats, including malware.  Analyze security vulnerabilities in computer systems.  Apply authentication and cryptography to secure computer systems.  Use open source tools to improve system security.  Understand the fundamentals of network security. 9
