Synopsis

CSS319 aims to prepare students to be adept cybersecurity professionals with capabilities to protect digital assets. Students will gain a deep understanding of network and application security essentials from protocols to defence mechanisms. As the cloud becomes the backbone of modern infrastructure, there will be an opportunity to dissect cloud concepts and migration strategies. Students will then delve into planning for business continuity and disaster recovery, learn to navigate incidents and uncover the psychological underpinnings of social engineering and behavioural models to foster a resilient cybersecurity culture in their organisations. Prior knowledge of cybersecurity is not essential.
