Learning Outcomes

This course covers the fundamentals and techniques to design and implement secure software systems. It also covers the assessment of software security vulnerabilities, exploitation of software vulnerabilities, and methods to secure vulnerable software.

By the end of the course, a successful student should develop competencies to:
CO1. Evaluate security threats, risks, and attacks for software systems. (BL5)
