Description

Computer networks, such as the Internet, enables different entities to exchange vast quantities of information and share remote resources. Unfortunately, networking also poses a danger by exposing individuals to various forms of network-based attacks, raising ever-growing concerns as computer networks become more common and more relied upon. This course will give an overview of network security issues, look at several most representative security problems, and discuss commonly practiced solutions.

Students are expected to bring the following questions when coming to the class and take away answers to them upon finishing the class:

Why a network needs to be secured?
How?
What has been done?
What can you do to improve?
