MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CYBERSECURITY
MANAGEMENT & POLICY
MCMP 501THE INTERNET, GOVERNANCE AND SECURITY
• This course examines how the Internet and associated communication technologies have created new means for people to organize, both within their local communities and across great distances, changing the nature of the relationship between society and the institutions of government.
• The Internet has allowed people to communicate, often without detection, that has resulted in both positive and negative effects; e.g., Internet-based communications have been a significant factor in the both the growth of transnational terrorism and popular uprisings such as the Arab Spring.
• In response, governments have often attempted to control the Internet, in some cases to aid legitimate law enforcement, in others to repress restless populations seeking change. State institutions can also use these technologies to create more effective governance and better response to humanitarian crises.
MCMP 510THE PRACTICE OF CYBERSECURITY
• The course introduces principles of cybersecurity, providing a framework covering technical, legal, and managerial issues.
• Students will examine computer and network security from the perspectives of the industry-standard ten core bodies of knowledge:
• access control;
• telecommunications and network
security;
• information security governance
and risk management;
• software development security;
• cryptography;
• security architecture and design;
• operations security;
• business continuity and disaster
recovery planning;
• legal, regulations, investigations and
compliance; and
• physical (environmental) security.
MCMP 520SECURITY ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
• This course is designed to teach how cybersecurity should be integrated early on in any project or other use of information in a computer or network setting.
• Emphasis is placed on the relationship between information and the operation and mission of an agency, business, organization, or other entity.
• This course specifically ties together information and communications technology (ICT), cybersecurity, business, policies, and ethics.
• Topics include security engineering concepts (although this is not an engineering course), distributed systems, network attacks and defense, security management, encryption, the role of training and education, and more.
MCMP 615POLICY AND LAW IN CYBERSPACE
• Cyberspace has emerged as a "real" place where people congregate, crimes occur, social changes are initiated, and a majority of our work takes place.
• Whereas the physical world — and law and policy that impact the physical world — can be constrained by geopolitical boundaries, it is literally impossible to similarly constrain activities in cyberspace.
• For that reason, cyberspace itself is a virtual universe — one that is global and where every Internet user is a citizen.
• This course describes emerging policies and laws that affect cyberspace, particularly those related to information security and cybercrime. The clash between real space and cyberspace is also examined.
MCMP 650EMERGING TOPICS IN CYBERSECURITY
• This course examines the current research literature concerning issues related to cybersecurity.
• Topics will include, but not be limited to, current research topics in information assurance, cybersecurity policy, information warfare and the Advanced Persistent Threat, policy and law in cyberspace, evolving information security technologies and methods, new approaches to incident response and digital forensics, emerging threats and adversaries, and the impact of cybersecurity on society and organizations.
• Students will focus on research techniques, as well as the presentation of results, legal issues, and relevant technologies.
MCMP 690/691CYBERSECURITY MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
CAPSTONE• The capstone provides students with the opportunity to
integrate all disciplines and competencies that have been learned in this program, plus their past experiences and professional goals, into a single work-based project, internship experience, or other appropriate activity.
• The project will be the culmination of a student's studies integrated in their area of specialization or expertise.
• In cooperation with an advisor, the student will design, research, and implement a project that is comprehensive in nature and which addresses, to the extent feasible, all core areas of knowledge around which the program has been built
