HSEC 2010 - CYBERSECURITY

Institution:

Laramie County Community College

Subject:

Homeland Security

Description:

Students explore how the information revolution and America's increasing utilization and reliance upon computers has affected societal infrastructure. Students examine the critical infrastructure composed of those systems and assets--both physical and cyber in nature--that are so vital that incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating impact on national security, economic security, and/or public health and safety. Students look at how a "networked" world has bred new crimes and new responses and investigate how the computer has become a tool, target, and place of criminal activity and national security threats, as well as a mechanism of response. Finally, students examine the convergence of existing laws, equities, and variables in this multidisciplinary area, along with the economic, cost-benefit conflicts that are created as a result of various competing concerns. Prerequisite: Completion of HSEC 1000.
