Is this Programme for Me?

Did you know that if your PC has a broadband connection it is being probed by unauthorized users many times a day? Did you that your computer is quite possibly a "zombie" machine awaiting activation for some nefarious purpose? Or that deleting files and history logs on your machine is a very poor way to hide your tracks, and that a trained forensics professional can easily recover this data? Or that identity theft is no longer just in the realms of science fiction?

Computer Security is about securing computer systems against all types of unauthorized access. However, no matter how secure a computer system is it will still have vulnerabilities. Digital Forensics is about detecting intruders, analyzing what they have done to your computer system, tracking and identifying the intruder and creating a portfolio of evidence about the intruder's activities to assist with a successful prosecution. This course teaches the student the skills, methods, and techniques used in Computer Security and Digital Forensics. Our purpose is to provide the Irish computer industry with high-quality experts in this rapidly growing field of computing. Our aim is to provide the Irish computer industry with high-quality experts in this rapidly growing field of computing.

For a description of a degree in computer security and digital forensics see the following YouTube video: BSc Computer Forensics & Security - University of Derby This video describes a BSc course at the University of Derby, but (except for the reference to the placement year) it gives a pretty good overview of our computer security and digital forensics BSc. Also see Scams, spam, spies and me for an insight into the job of a person working in the computer security industry.

Are there follow-up Programmes Available?

Progression to a one-year programme leading to a Level 8 Honours BSc in Computer Security and Digital Forensics is available internally at LYIT.

On completion of this programme graduates may go on to study for their MSc/ Ph.D. at other ITs and Universities in Ireland and abroad. Progression internationally to the second cycle (i.e. 'Bologna Masters') degree programmes.
