网络安全理学学士

网络安全是一门基于计算的学科，涉及技术，人员，信息和流程，可确保在敌对者的环境下进行有保证的运营。它涉及安全计算机系统的创建，操作，分析和测试。这是一门跨学科的学习课程，包括法律，政策，人为因素，道德和风险管理等方面。对于政府机构，国防承包商，电子商务公司，生物技术研究公司以及实际上与保护其信息资本有关的任何企业实体而言，网络安全都是至关重要的问题。学生准备精通计算机网络安全原理，人类行为和法律，网络取证，以及确保信息资产免受网络攻击的策略和计划。
Cybersecurity is a computing-based discipline involving technology, people, information and processes to enable assured operations in the context of adversaries. It involves the creation, operation, analysis and testing of secure computer systems. It is an interdisciplinary course of study, including aspects of law, policy, human factors, ethics and risk management. Cybersecurity is a critical concern for government agencies, defense contractors, e-commerce companies, biotech research firms and, in fact, any business entities that are concerned with the protection of their information capital. Students are prepared to be proficient in computer network security principles, human behavior and laws, cyber forensics, and the strategies and planning for securing information capital from cyber-attacks. Students will gain hands-on learning in core competencies needed to enter this growing workforce, including white hat hacking, strategic planning, incident response, design and deployment of cloud services, and management of security services. Students will explore an open infrastructure for at scale networking and distributed systems through the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI), a cyber system that spans the US and provides a virtual laboratory for research and education. With GENI, students will have a platform to learn advanced skills and knowledge in cybersecurity, and engage in learning with a commercial cloud system such as Google cloud or Amazon cloud.
