Students in IT\/CYSE 200T will explore how technology is related to cybersecurity from an interdisciplinary orientation. Attention is given to the way that technologically-driven cybersecurity issues are connected to cultural, political, legal, ethical, and business domains. The learning outcomes for this course are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is a showcase of course assignments I, Christopher Doyon, have produced throughout my time in CYSE 200T: This write-up covers the three core principles of information security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It uses real-world examples for each, like tiered government clearances, shared document edit histories, and redundant power for servers. It also explains how authentication (verifying who you are) differs from authorization (what you’re allowed to do once verified).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the write-up<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing and Protecting Critical Infrastructure with SCADA Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This write-up looks at how SCADA systems let small teams monitor large-scale infrastructure like water treatment, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. It examines why these systems are vulnerable due to various reasons such as outdated technology, missing security features, and a false sense of safety from air-gapped networks. It concludes with the consequences of cyberattacks on these systems and ways to improve security and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
