Exploration of a topic (to be determined) not covered by the standard curriculum but of interest to faculty and students in a particular semester.

Introductory concepts of: network organization and operation security. Differentiate among physical, organizational and personal security. Introduce mechanisms and history of software, hardware and OS security. Significant hands-on laboratory component with demonstrations and projects.

Offered through SUAbroad by educational institution outside the United States. Student registers for the course at the foreign institution and is graded according to that institution's practice. SUAbroad works with the S.U. academic department to assign the appropriate course level, title, and grade for the student's transcript.
