SWENG 5179: Foundations of Cyber Operations
The United States may be facing the most serious economic and national security challenge of the 21st century; our 政府 and private sector networks and information are being exploited via cyber operations activities at an unprecedented scale by a growing array of state and non-state actors. The evolution of increasingly complex network structures creates critical interdependencies that lead to expanded cyber operations opportunities and increased vulnerabilities. 因此, we must train our cyber work force so that they may take action to protect the critical components upon which our economy, 政府 and national security are based by an adversary that utilizes a wide array of network exploitation, disruption or destruction techniques. In order to appropriately defend these complexities and interdependencies in a cyber environment, students must become familiar with foundational network security methods and concepts, 和协议, Cybersecurity principles, and knowledge of cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
In this 7-week course, students from all educational disciplines and professional backgrounds will have hands-on experience using PSU Weblabs to learn fundamental concepts designed to help familiarize them with the potential cyber operations that they may encounter on a daily basis.
主题
- To better understand Network Security and Technical Concepts
- Application, Data and Host Security
- 恶意软件分析
- Identification, Authentication, and Authorization in Modern Operating Systems

In this 7-week course, students again will work hands-on with PSU Weblabs to learn fundamental and mid-range concepts designed to help ensure that the cyber operations in which they participate are consistent with the 法律 and values of the society they serve.
