IS 2470 - Introductory Digital Security for Business

This course's aim is to provide an overview of the key concepts, and fundamentals of information and digital security. We will review important concepts including; access control, network security, facility/physical security, security management, and regulatory compliance. This theoretical understanding will be supported by hands-on labs which will allow students to implement basic information security controls on technical systems as well as carry out simple cyber-attacks. This class is an initiative to expose new generations of students at the University of Utah to learning Digital Literacy so as to arm them with strong skills for future employment. The primary purpose is to supplement the student’s core major in making it relevant for today’s competitive and technology-dependent job market.
