| | Description | Computer and communication technologies have become the |
| | key components to support critical infrastructure services in |
| | various sectors of our society. In an effort to share information |
| | and streamline operations, organizations are creating |
| | complex networked systems and opening their networks to |
| | customers, suppliers, and other business partners. Increasing |
| | network complexity, greater access, and a growing emphasis |
| | on the Internet have made information and network security a |
| | major concern for organizations. |

| | IST 454 focuses on computer and cyber forensics. Students |
| | will learn different aspects of computer and cyber crime and |
| | ways in which to uncover, protect, exploit, and document |
| | digital evidence. Students will be exposed to different types of |
| | tools (both software and hardware), techniques and |
| | procedure, and be able to use them to perform rudimentary |
| | forensic investigations. |
| | |
| | A major component of the course will be several hands-on |
| | exercises and a final team-based project. This course will |

| | of the concepts, theories and technologies that define the |
| | course. |
