Cyber Terrorism and Information Warfare - PICT808
Computer systems and networks, and the applications that they support, are core elements of critical infrastructure for public and private sector organisations in the twenty-first century. This unit will present a high-level overview of how cyber terrorist threats and foreign states might infiltrate systems and gain control of critical infrastructure. This unit explores how different vertical industries face specific threats from their use of current day technology. The 'human factor' in dealing with cyber terrorist threats will be emphasised.
