Objective
After completing the course the student:
- is able identify and mitigate cyber threats in networks
- can detect cyber threats and defend against them
- can recognize Internet-based cyber threats such as denial of service attacks and mitigate them
Content
Students will protect enterprise-level network against cyber attacks. Students learn to detect network attacks and successfully defend against them.
In the lab exercises students
- configure firewalls and intrusion detection systems
- monitor network activities and detect cyber attacks
- react when network attack is happening
Materials
Learning material consists of material produced by the Lecturer as well as extra material obtainable from TUAS resources (ebooks).
Teaching methods
Learning is achieved through contact lectures, written home assignments and laboratory assignments.
Exam schedules
There will not be a course exam. Grading is based on home & lab assignments.
Student workload
Total working hours for the course is 135 h (5 credits).
Contact sessions:
Lectures - 8 x 2h
Labs - 6 x 3h (two groups)
Home assignments & personal studies: 80h
Evaluation methods and criteria
Each home assignment and laboratory assignment will be evaluated separately.
There will be 3 written home assignments and 7 laboratory assignments, each valued on average at 10 points. The total points for the course will be 100 points and the grading will be as follows:
49 and less = Failed
50-59 pts = 1
60-69 pts = 2
70-79 pts = 3
80-89 pts = 4
90 and more = 5
Course lecture and lab session attendance will be monitored. Minimum of 50% attendance in the contact sessions is required to pass the course. Possible exceptions must be discussed with the lecturer by each student separately.
The course begins on week 36 (2025) and will end on week 50.
