This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information. This major provides coverage of the key concepts and challenges in data and resource protection and computer software security. There is a focus on both the high level (e.g. cryptography theory and data access policy development and security program management) and low level practical (e.g. computer forensics, network intrusion detection and incident handling) aspects of computer security. The addition of programming techniques differentiates this major from more policy-based options. Course Accreditation Status Will request provisional accreditation from ACS on approval. Career Opportunities Graduates may be employed in one of a number of roles relating to computer or network security on either the red (penetration testing) or blue (target defense) teams. In addition they can join programming teams as security specialists and have good knowledge of security policy.
