Information Systems Security

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Information system security is becoming an increasingly relevant issue for everyone. Today, concepts such as vulnerabilities, privacy, cybercrime, and even hackers are widely understood. Security is a concern for everyone, both individually and collectively. This concern is so significant that cybersecurity and data protection regulations have become a key component in technical decisions and the implementation of measures. In this course unit, we will address various concepts in cybersecurity, vulnerabilities, methods of carrying out attacks, as well as prevention and risk assessment. It is essential that any computer science program include a course on security; every computer engineer must understand not only security mechanisms but also their applicability and mandatory nature in the development of systems, software, and information architectures.
