Fall 2025 Laboratory Lecture Distance Learning Upper Division
This course will focus on advanced security techniques often referred to as vulnerability analysis or network penetration testing (pen testing). Students will learn the methods, techniques, and tools to test the security of computer networks, infrastructure and applications. The activities will be based in an environment that allows testing and "hacking" that does not risk possible legal, ethical, and network availability issues.
Learning Outcomes1Apply extensive knowledge of current security standards and methodologies.
2Understand the increasing need for LAN and WAN network management and available methods.
3Demonstrate the differences between wireless and wire-line security and network penetration and compromise points.
4Create secure network environments based on specifications and scenarios.
5Actively test various network designs and scenarios for sensitivity to know vulnerabilities and take corrective actions in a timely manner.
