Students will undertake a research project critically discussing the principles and procedures associated with cybersecurity. The report and Infographic will give students the opportunity to examine the range of potential threats, risks and attacks identified from the scenarios and indicate how implementation of secure systems can mitigate against the security issues identified.

The following learning outcomes will be assessed:

Problem 1. Ability to critically understand the principles of cybersecurity and the procedures to manage these in a organisational settings, taking into account potential security threats, risks and attacks

Problem 2. Ability to evaluate the processes, procedures and protocols required to implement secure, reliable and effective systems security and identify suitable metrics to quantify and measure levels of security
