A study of and exercisein developing, leading, and implementing effective enterpriseandnational-level cybersecurity programs. Focus is on establishingprograms that combine technology, policy, training,auditing, personnel, and physical elements. Challenges withinspecific industries (such as health, banking, finance, and manufacturing)are discussed. Topics include enterprise architecture,risk management, vulnerability assessment, threat analysis, crisismanagement, security architecture, security models, securitypolicy development and implementation, security compliance,information privacy, identity management, incident response,disaster recovery, and business continuity planning, Assignmentsinclude a project reflecting integration and applicationof cybersecurity knowledge and skills.DBST (Database Systems Technology)DBST 651 Relational Database Systems (3)(Formerly CSMN 661.) An introduction to relational databases,one of the most pervasive technologies today. Presentationcovers fundamental concepts necessary for the design, use,and implementation of relational database systems. Focus is onbasic concepts of database modeling and design, the languagesand facilities provided by database management systems, andtechniques for implementing relational database systems. Topicsinclude implementation concepts and techniques for databasedesign, query optimization, concurrency control, recovery, andintegrity. A foundation for managing databases in importantenvironments is provided. Assignments require use of a remoteaccess laboratory.DBST 652 Advanced Relational/Object-RelationalDatabase Systems (3)(Formerly CSMN 662.) Prerequisite: CSMN 661 or DBST651. A continuation of the study of relational database systems,exploring advanced concepts. Topics include logical design,physical design, performance, architecture, data distribution,and data sharing in relational databases. The concepts of objectrelationaldesign and implementation are introduced and developed.Assignments require the use of a remote access laboratory.DBST 663 Distributed Database Management Systems (3)(Formerly CSMN 663.) Prerequisite: CSMN 661 or DBST651. An introduction to the development of distributed databasemanagement, focusing on concepts and technical issues. Surveycovers distributed database management systems includesarchitecture, distributed database design, query processing andoptimization, distributed transaction management and concurrencycontrol, distributed and heterogeneous object managementsystems, and database inoperability.DBST 665 Data Warehouse Technologies (3)(Formerly CSMN 665.) Prerequisite: CSMN 661 or DBST651. An introduction to the concepts needed for successfullydesigning and implementing a data warehouse. Topics includedata model approaches such as the star schema and denormalization,loading the warehouse, performance challenges, and otherconcepts unique to the warehouse environment.
