Securing the Web (Internet Systems Specialist Diploma)
| DIT 16033 | 20 hours |
This course introduces the concepts behind security in the Information Age. Building on the principles learnt in Network Technologies 1 and 2, students will learn to build Threat Risk Assessments, Security Policy Documents, and Disaster Recovery Plans. Further to this, they will engage such topics as Privacy, Anonymity, and the many faces of 'hacking'. This course steers away from strictly technical issues, which will be tackled in Network Security 2. This course provides a strong foundation in security, and related / relevant topics in such. By approaching non-technically specific topics first, the theory learnt here can be applied forward through the remainder of the Network Security stream.
