Computer systems and networks, and the applications that they support, are core elements of critical infrastructure for public and private sector organisations in the twenty-first century. This unit will present a high-level overview of how cyberterrorist threats might be conceived in different horizontal applications, network and protocol layers. The unit explores how different vertical industries (eg, the finance industry) face specific treats from their use of specific protocols and platforms. The 'human factor' in dealing with cyberterrorist threats will be emphasised. -- Course Website
