Introduction to Cybersecurity: Theory and Practice (223003474)

This course offers a comprehensive overview of identity and access management, including password security, multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), single sign-on (SSO), and federation technologies. Students will explore secure development lifecycle practices, threat modeling, risk assessment, and application security testing. The curriculum also focuses on incident response strategies, digital forensics, and the fundamentals of cloud security — including service models and data protection management. Legal and ethical considerations, such as privacy regulations and compliance strategies, will also be covered.

Students will explore advanced threat analysis (APT), including threat intelligence, detection, and response strategies. The course introduces key threat modeling techniques – STRIDE, PASTA, and TRIKE – and their application in the development cycle. The DevSecOps section focuses on integrating security into DevOps, using automation tools and secure coding practices. Students will also learn configuration management, infrastructure as code, and automation security strategies. Container security covers best practices for Docker and Kubernetes, while the cloud security module explores AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. Network design topics include segmentation and segregation, VLAN configuration, and microsegmentation. The program concludes with security incident simulations, featuring Red Team vs. Blue Team scenarios and recovery exercises.

Students will explore vulnerability assessment methods, including detection techniques, evaluation tools, risk management, and reporting. The course will also cover cybersecurity policy and strategy – from se ingsecurity goals and developing policies to ensuring compliance and addressing implementation challenges. The data encryption module will focus on encryption principles, technologies, data storage and transfer, and encryption policies. In advanced penetration
testing, students will learn high-level techniques, use of automated tools, application in various environments, and cover ethical and legal considerations. Digital identity management will include IAM systems, SSO solutions, ecosystem understanding, and protection strategies. The information security management systems section introduces ISO 27001, ISMS planning, internal auditing, and certification. The cyber intelligence module will focus on intelligence principles, open-source intelligence, threat intel platforms, and data analysis. The program concludes with security awareness and training development, including methodologies, interactive formats, and program evaluation.
