and civilian computing systems are frequently attacked by espionage services,organized
crime, and hacking groups. In this course, students will investigate
the cyber threat environment, network attack, the design of network
perimeter defence, and defence-in-depth. The capstone activity is a
two-week cyber defence exercise at term end, organized and run by the
National Security Agency, involving military college teams from
Canada. Students completing this course will be able to design a defensive computer network architecture and
understand the network cyber operations environment. Topics include:
firewall design; deployment of intrusion detection and prevention
systems; design and implementation of security policy; and
identification and authentication.
