Do you want this course to be offered as a variable unit course? Proposed Date Proposer Name Uwe R. Zimmer Primary Convenor's Primary Convenor's Name New appointment imminent who will convene this new course in Course Description Course Structure and Content Learning Outcomes Cyber Security Foundations introduces all essential cyber security principles. This includes principles of secure design, secrets minimization, least privilege, isolation, separation and encapsulation. The interplay between failed security principles and vulnerabilities is investigated in detail. The course provides the essential foundations which allow students to continue in a more in-depth cyber security career, yet can also be used a standalone unit to provide a self-contained set of knowledge. This is a general, second year course in our u/g programs which also serves as a foundational course for the Cyber Security Major. It will be offered on campus, as a combination of lectures and labs. The courses covers content in the areas of essential cyber security principles. 1. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles underlying Cyber Security. 2. Define and identify cyber security principles and their violation. 3. Apply cyber security principles in a practical context. 4. Migrate insights from cyber security analysis into new designs. 5. Communicate a cyber security thread to a heterogenous team of professionals. Page 3

Zimmer Primary Convenor's Primary Convenor's Name New appointment imminent who will convene this new course in Course Description Course Structure and Content Learning Outcomes Defensive Cyber Security operations introduces and exercises a complete range of anomaly / intrusion detection and identification mechanisms. The students will also learn and exercise the handling of an existing intrusion which includes forensic operations and well as securing the remaining systems. This is a complete course in cyber defense which enables students on successful completion to operate systems under realworld exposure. This is a general, second year course in our u/g programs which also serves as an advanced course for the Cyber Security Major. It will be offered on campus, as a combination of lectures and labs. The courses covers content in the areas of essential, defensive Cyber Security operations. 1. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles underlying the defence of systems and networks. 2. Define and identify defensive cyber security architectures and their purpose. 3. Operate defensive network architectures and systems in a practical context. 4. Extrapolate current threats and identify potential, future threats. 5. Communicate a cyber security situation and response to a heterogenous team of professionals. Page 6
