IS 367  -  Endpoint Security

(3.00 cr.)

Examines steps take to protect devices and applications users rely on every day, including workstations, laptops, mobile devices, servers, and cloud-based applications. Students learn how organizations secure endpoints, manage access, protect data, and respond to threats in modern, distributed work environments. The course blends conceptual understanding with applied practice. Students explore endpoint protection, detection, and response concepts while gaining hands-on exposure using free and open tools such as Windows Defender, Wireshark, OpenVAS, OWASP tools, and cloud identity and device management free tiers (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID). These tools are used selectively to demonstrate real-world endpoint security controls, logging, monitoring, and configuration practices.
