Course description and aims
With the development of information and communications networks and the advanced use of information and communications technology, represented by the Internet, threats to cybersecurity are becoming more serious. Cyber attacks continue to have a significant impact on society, and the damage to society caused by the leakage of personal information and the leakage of intellectual property by attacks is immense. Despite the importance of cybersecurity, there is still a significant shortage of human resources.
In response to these social demands, Tokyo Institute of Technology established the Cybersecurity Special Program in April 2016. This special training program on cybersecurity will provide students with practical knowledge on cybersecurity through collaboration with Rakuten, NTT, AIST, and the Cabinet Cybersecurity Center, as well as with knowledge on the theoretical background by utilizing the strengths of the theoretical field, which is characteristic of the information and communications field at Tokyo Tech. The curriculum is centered around six subjects: Cybersecurity Overview (1Q, 2-0-0), Cybersecurity Cryptography (3Q, 2-0-0), Cybersecurity Governance (3Q, 1-1-0), Cybersecurity Attack and Defense I (2Q, 1-1-0), Cybersecurity Attack and Defense II (3Q, 1-1-0), and Cybersecurity Attack and Defense III (4Q, 1-1-0).
In this course, you will understand the basic framework of management measures related to information security and learn how to conduct corporate governance with security in mind.
Student learning outcomes
