Building Secure Firewalls with MATH 205 and IA 202

CSIE 277 - Building Secure Firewalls **
The Web is being used to transmit and collect sensitive personal information, money, and data.  Weaknesses are often inherent in the structure designers select.  Students will assess non-profit  and local government webpages for security weaknesses.

MATH 205 - Math Structures for Computer Science
Propositional and predicate logic, sets and operations, discrete functions, sequences, finite summations, function growth, elementary number theory, matrices and applications, proof  techniques, elementary combinatorics, discrete probability, relations.

IA 202 - Risk-Vulnerability Analysis
Tools, techniques, and methodologies in perfoming computer system and network security vulnerability-risk analyses.  "Security best practices" and audit requirements for specific environments will be studied. Topics to be covered include internal and external penetration tests, wireless security technology, risk and analysis methodology, and security audits.

MATH 205 is required for Computer Science majors and minors. IA 202 is required for Information Assurance majors. Double majors or major /minor combinations in COSC and IA complement each and the other.
