Course objectives

The course enables students to learn cybersecurity topics practically. Students will learn standard attack techniques as well as detection and prevention methods in a simulated environment of KYPO cyber range. These skills will be exercised in the preparation of a cybersecurity game, which the student teams will present at a public event.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to:
    • understand current cybersecurity threats,
    • conduct penetration testing using suitable tools,
    • apply suitable methods of detection and prevention of vulnerabilities,
    • create a virtual environment with selected vulnerabilities of computer systems and applications,
    • create a cybersecurity game in KYPO cyber range.

Syllabus

• The course has two parts.
• The first part introduces selected topics of cybersecurity, including attack types and techniques, network traffic analysis, forensic analysis, and prevention methods.
• In the second part, teams of students prepare cybersecurity games at KYPO cyber range.
• The created games are publicly presented at the end of the semester.
