  • CST classes focus on current, real-world challenges in cyber security. For example, many classes include lessons and hands-on activities involving the security of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In CT 212: Computer Forensics, students learn how to conduct forensics on programmable logic controllers (PLCS) used to control IoT devices. CST students learn how cloud computing technologies are used to manage and control the security of IoT systems in CT 353: Virtual Environments and Cloud Security. Also, in CT 393: IT Security Risk Assessment, students examine how to evaluate risk on IoT devices in building automation systems and other industrial control systems (ICS).
