Course Goal / Objective

The course aims to enable students to identify core security threats, apply defensive techniques, develop security policies, and analyze system vulnerabilities through an ethical hacking perspective.

Course Content

This course introduces the fundamental principles of cybersecurity and modern threats to information systems, focusing on countermeasures and defense mechanisms such as encryption, authentication, network security, malware analysis, and security policies. In addition, students explore ethical hacking, attack lifecycle, exploitation techniques, and basic penetration testing. Reinforced with hands-on practice, the course develops both defensive and offensive thinking skills.
