MANAGEMENT & POLICY

29. MCMP 501
THE INTERNET, GOVERNANCE AND SECURITY
• This course examines how the Internet and associated communication
technologies have created new means for people to organize, both within
their local communities and across great distances, changing the nature
of the relationship between society and the institutions of government.
• The Internet has allowed people to communicate, often without detection,
that has resulted in both positive and negative effects; e.g., Internet-
based communications have been a significant factor in the both the
growth of transnational terrorism and popular uprisings such as the Arab
Spring.
• In response, governments have often attempted to control the Internet, in
some cases to aid legitimate law enforcement, in others to repress
restless populations seeking change. State institutions can also use
these technologies to create more effective governance and better
response to humanitarian crises.

30. MCMP 510
THE PRACTICE OF CYBERSECURITY
• The course introduces principles of cybersecurity, providing a framework covering
technical, legal, and managerial issues.
• Students will examine computer and network security from the perspectives of the
industry-standard ten core bodies of knowledge:
• access control;
• telecommunications and network
security;
• information security governance
and risk management;
• software development security;
• cryptography;
• security architecture and design;
• operations security;
• business continuity and disaster
recovery planning;
• legal, regulations, investigations and
compliance; and
• physical (environmental) security.

31. MCMP 520
SECURITY ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
• This course is designed to teach how cybersecurity should be integrated
early on in any project or other use of information in a computer or
network setting.
• Emphasis is placed on the relationship between information and the
operation and mission of an agency, business, organization, or other
entity.
• This course specifically ties together information and communications
technology (ICT), cybersecurity, business, policies, and ethics.
• Topics include security engineering concepts (although this is not an
engineering course), distributed systems, network attacks and defense,
security management, encryption, the role of training and education, and
more.

32. MCMP 615
POLICY AND LAW IN CYBERSPACE
• Cyberspace has emerged as a "real" place where people
congregate, crimes occur, social changes are initiated, and a
majority of our work takes place.
• Whereas the physical world — and law and policy that impact the
physical world — can be constrained by geopolitical boundaries, it
is literally impossible to similarly constrain activities in cyberspace.
• For that reason, cyberspace itself is a virtual universe — one that
is global and where every Internet user is a citizen.
• This course describes emerging policies and laws that affect
cyberspace, particularly those related to information security and
cybercrime. The clash between real space and cyberspace is also
examined.

33. MCMP 650
EMERGING TOPICS IN CYBERSECURITY
• This course examines the current research literature
concerning issues related to cybersecurity.
• Topics will include, but not be limited to, current research
topics in information assurance, cybersecurity policy,
information warfare and the Advanced Persistent Threat,
policy and law in cyberspace, evolving information security
technologies and methods, new approaches to incident
response and digital forensics, emerging threats and
adversaries, and the impact of cybersecurity on society and
organizations.
• Students will focus on research techniques, as well as the
presentation of results, legal issues, and relevant
technologies.

34. MCMP 690/691
CYBERSECURITY MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
CAPSTONE
• The capstone provides students with the opportunity to
integrate all disciplines and competencies that have been
learned in this program, plus their past experiences and
professional goals, into a single work-based project,
internship experience, or other appropriate activity.
• The project will be the culmination of a student's studies
integrated in their area of specialization or expertise.
• In cooperation with an advisor, the student will design,
research, and implement a project that is comprehensive in
nature and which addresses, to the extent feasible, all core
areas of knowledge around which the program has been built
