This
course aims to enable you to identify security risks and preventative measures
in technological solutions. You will learn the basic principles and practice of
collecting computer data as evidence of computer crime and how systems operate
in terms of their software and hardware infrastructure. Based on this you will
learn how to manage such systems as a system administrator specialising in
ensuring security. Your knowledge will be further developed to give you a good
appreciation of security issues and the steps organisations need to take to
protect themselves from security breaches and crime. We have a rich mix of
knowledge ranging from software development for different types of system
through to hardware aspects such as networking. This involves many uses of
computing and considers all aspects including security and management. Our
knowledge is built up and maintained through our wealth of industrial
experience, our industrial links and our research activity.
