Cyber Security Foundations

Cyber Security Foundations introduces all essential cyber security principles. This includes principles of secure design, secrets minimization, least privilege, isolation, separation and encapsulation. The interplay between failed security principles and vulnerabilities is investigated in detail, and ethical considerations in vulnerability disclosure are discussed. The course provides the essential foundations which allow students to continue in a more in-depth cyber security career, yet can also be used a standalone unit to provide a self-contained set of knowledge.
