The course will introduce students into the current methods and practical tools applied for system testing in order to evaluate its security. It will combine a theoretical study of the methods and models currently applied for company security evaluation and a practical investigation of computer security through implementation of penetrating testing. The course will review different application areas such as intrusion detection and monitoring systems, access control and biological authentication, increasing system and information survivability, network attacks and defense, user's practice survey.
