Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

analyse common application vulnerabilities and secure coding practices

implement and evaluate security measures for operating systems

assess cryptographic techniques to secure data and communications within applications

design a comprehensive security operation plan for monitoring and incident response
