ELECTIVE COURSE -> not offered every semester
Learning objectives:
The students should
know different network architectures and concepts and be able to evaluate them with regard to their security properties,
know which different typical threats exist in the network and which challenges exist,
know different data sources and formats for detection and response and evaluate them in terms of advantages and disadvantages,
know and be able to apply security measures and protocols on the different network layers,
be able to use classic network security tools such as firewalls and IDS, including their placement in the network topology,
be able to develop suitable response strategies,
be able to solve security problems of other exemplary topics (WLAN, UMTS, VoIP).
