Topic: Cybersecurity Laboratory. Prerequisite: CS498RHC (Information Assurance) or Consent of Instructor. This applied security course complements CS498RHC, Introduction to Information Assurance. It reinforces the security taught in that course with hands on projects. The projects in the lab class are divided into the following areas: endpoint security, nertwork security, intrusions and defenses, and security architectures. Projects include configuration scenarios for security mechanisms such as Windows, SE Linux, and firewalls; programming tasks such as least privilege programming in Windows and worm creation; and system designs, attacks, and defenses. This section is either for undergradute or graduate students.
