For students who may have missed it, IS 498-02 in the spring is a 3-credit security course with completion of the IS BS gateway as a prerequisite (C or better in IS 147 or CMSC 201, C or better in calculus, and 3.0 between IS 300 and IS 310).
Here is the description from the UMBC schedule:
Cyber attacks pose an increasing threat to the nation's critical
infrastructure including computer networks, cyber physical systems such as
industrial control systems, sensor networks to name a few. This course will
be geared towards understanding the cybersecurity arena and the relevant
technological challenges and potential solutions. It will introduce key
topics in data analytics relevant for cybersecurity and will deal with
practical applications where these can be used. Other specific topics will
include categorizing cyber threats and types of solutions, understanding
vulnerabilities, Intrusion detection systems, federal initiatives, Data
analytics for cybersecurity, case studies in using data analytics for
cybersecurity, hands on tools for discovering cybersecurity threats.
At the moment there are 4 seats available. If given the option, register for 3 credits. Questions should go to the instructor, Dr. Janeja.
This course will count toward UMBC's 45-credit upper-level credit requirement, and will fulfil the IS department's upper-level IS elective requirement.
