CYBR610 Network Security and Intrusion Detection (3 cr.)


This course provides a comprehensive overview of network security and intrusion detection. Students focus on methods for securing networks, and utilize these methods in basic architectural design. Students apply these methods into a cohesive network security strategy. Topics include investigation of areas such as data analysis and interpretation, threat/intrusion detection, vulnerability management, incident response and security architecture. The course also prepares students for the CompTIA CySA+ Certification Exam.

Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to do the following:

  1. Implement security operations and monitoring design principles in network architectures.
  2. Integrate software and systems security secure network components through knowledge of hardware, transmission media, cryptography, network access, honeypot, endpoint security, and content-distribution networks.       
  3. Implement secure communication channels according to design that involve voice, multimedia collaboration, remote access, data communications, and virtualized networks.        
  4. Specify incident response and forensic procedures to recover from attacks on network systems.
  5. Conduct logging and monitoring activities to support intrusion detection and prevention, and event management.  
  6. Identify threats and vulnerabilities in networked systems.
  7. Understand compliance and assessment practices.
