Modules

For all the benefits of Cloud computing, new headaches are introduced from a security point of view. In most cases, cloud implementations involve leasing computer capacity from a third party. This complicates the security environment: how secure can your application and data be on remote devices you don't fully control? This module examines the issues relating to probing the security of cloud applications. The legal basis for this may involve more than one jurisdiction. You will also study forensics to examine the details of events or intrusions after they have taken place.
