    Course Objectives The aim of the course is to evaluate the current problems and researches about information security. The course also addresses incident response and provides a technical foundation for working with operating system, network and application security, and cryptography. At the end of the course the students should have the ability to do new researches on this area and the student should try to write an article about his/her study topic as term project.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • will be able to develop an approach for staying current with trends and requisite skills in information security.
    • will be able to extend their technical knowledge and skills in the area of information security
    • will be able to develop a basic understanding of cryptography
    • will be able to develop an understanding of security policies
    Course Description The objective of this course is to provide the fundamental concepts of information security, its framework and processes, and to provide insight into abstraction, problem solving and systematic view.
