Cyberterrorism and Communication Systems

University of Washington Online Learning
Seattle, Washington, United States

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' This course will cover the complexities and subtleties of telecommunication and computer infrastructures and their inter-relationship with other critical infrastructures. We’ll look at the vulnerabilities of these systems to environmental damage, hackers, and terrorists. We will discuss ways to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data; authenticate users; and hire trustworthy employees. These concepts are not static: they operate within "live" systems, which means that it is not enough to put protective measures in place. Organizations must also have daily operational policies and procedures that provide for detection and reaction capabilities that can quickly restore the system to a nominal state and perhaps even identify and hold accountable those who attacked the system.

When you complete this course, you will be able to do the following:

identify the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure systems to failure (in particular, to cyberterrorism), and recommend security solutions required for operational levels of trust;
analyze the vulnerabilities of a corporate cyber network;
create security plans and policies for cyber systems and training requirements to assure system operation at specified levels of trust;
apply systems analysis to solving communications systems and/or security problems inherent in the inter-networking connections of infrastructure systems;
develop conceptual, graphic models of communications systems;
describe best practices to secure digital infrastructure; and
for a hypothetical city, create both a defense against cyber attack, and a plan of attack. ...''
