brief description of the course in Estonian
Kursus on mõeldud tudengitele, kellel on keskmisel tasemel ülevaade arvutitehnoloogiatest.

Loengud katavad ohumudeleid, küberründeid ja tehnikaid, mida kasutame turvalisuse tagamiseks. Samuti käsitletakse intsidendi elutsüklit ja antakse kiire ülevaate vahenditest ja taktikatest, mida intsidendi elutsükli eri etappides kasutada, põhinedes teaduslikel artiklitel.
Teemad hõlmavad ka operatsiooonisüsteemi turvalisust, kurivara, võimeid, infovoo kontrolli, keele turvalisust, võrguprotokolle, riistvara turvalisust ja samuti ka veebi app-ide turvalisust.
Kodutööd sisaldavad praktikume, mis on aluseks väikestele individuaalsetele uurimisprojektidele, kus tudengid õpivad kasutama mõndasid neidt tehnoloogiatest, nagu algne kurivara analüüs, anonümiseerimise pritsiibid, tulemüür, ..... jne. ja nende rakendusprintsiipe.
brief description of the course in English
This course is aimed at students who have a moderate understanding of computer technology.

The lectures cover adversarial threat models, attacks that compromise security, and techniques for achieving security, incident lifecycle and quick overview of tools and tactics used in different lifecycle stages, based on recent research papers.
Topics include operating system (OS) security, malware, capabilities, information flow control, language security, network protocols, hardware security, and security in web applications.
Assignments include labs that are preparation for small individual research projects where students get to learn usage and application principles of some of these technologies such as basic malware analysis,anonymising principles, Firewall, IDS, IPS basic configuration, etc.
