Current Issues in Cybersecurity Systems Coursework
Research on Cybersecurity Systems
Summary
This coursework is worth 25% of the total module mark. The coursework provides students with the opportunities to carry out research and provide a report on current issues in cybersecurity systems. The coursework is in twofold (1) research on cybersecurity systems and (2) computer simulation (implementation). The research element should contain methods, functions, and procedures. The implementation should include software, algorithm or a package or an App from Internet which you could run using your chosen topic. Your implementation may also include web pages and database tables.
