Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student shall be able to
- analyse simple program code and systems (based on given or self-made system descriptions) to identify vulnerabilities and predict corresponding threats
- select countermeasures against identified threats and argue for their suitability
- apply countermeasures
- find and use documentation of security related problems and tools
- present and explain their reasoning to others,
in order to
- be able to develop software and computer system with security in mind
- be able to move on and specialise in the cybersecurity area
- assess the difficulty of a security problem in relation to their own ability to decide when they can handle it alone and when they need to consult an expert.
