Computer forensics and security are dynamic and growing
areas of computing. As cybercrime continues to rise, so does the need for
computing professionals to lead the fight against it. On this Computer
Forensics and Security degree, students will study specialist computing
forensics and security issues alongside broader computing topics, using a
variety of different tools and techniques, working with a range of tools,
programming languages and operating systems. Computer security involves
protecting computer systems from malicious attacks, human error, and
exploitation of vulnerabilities. This includes utilising an ethical hacking
approach to highlight security vulnerabilities so that they can be fixed or
mitigated. Computer forensics focuses on recovering intelligence and evidence
from digital devices for the purposes of remediation, litigation and
prosecution. This degree will explore areas including: computer security and
ethical hacking; digital forensics on computer and mobile devices; and network
forensics and open source intelligence gathering.
