Minor 2 : Communications Networks and Security

Communication Networks and Security This minor is designed for students who want to learn more about communications networks and how to protect them from threats and risks and prepares them for careers in network technology, cybersecurity and network management. Students are expected to be able to design and implement effective computer networks, manage and maintain networks and cloud computing systems, as well as protect networks and data from threats and security breaches. Probability and Statistics are needed to analyze communication networks as well as network performance. In Computer Networks, the basics of computer networks are studied including an understanding of network protocols, topology, network devices as well as network design, implementation and management. Performance Engineering for Telecommunications courses are required in analyzing and designing telecommunications systems and ensuring optimal performance. In Network Automation and Software Defined Networking (SDN) learn how automation and SDN can increase network flexibility and efficiency. In Connected Services and Cloud Computing, students can understand cloud-based services that provide access to computing and storage resources over the internet. Telecommunications Network Security studies techniques and strategies to protect telecommunications networks from various security threats.
