This Applied Research Internship enhances the student's academic achievements with real-world, professional computing applied research projects at a sponsoring organization. The student is expected to apply knowledge and skills acquired through other coursework in the major to address a research question in information technology related fields under the direction of a faculty advisor and a site supervisor at the organization.

This course continues surveying common technological and organizational measures for cybersecurity, with a focus on detection and organizational relationships. Topics include auditing and log records; monitoring and testing for threat detection; vulnerability scans; and the security of external services (e.g., cloud providers) and supply chains. We do not focus on how to technically implement these measures. Students assess organizational impacts and explore how best practices and standards can help manage such measures. Pre- or Co-req: CPRM 830.

This course fosters cybersecurity incident response and investigative knowledge, from both the organizational and system perspective. Material includes laws, standards, codes of behavior and best practices for incident response, including the management of relationships (e.g., regulators, clients, vendors). Case studies are presented and discusses in light of organizational resource limitations, legal mandates, and jurisdictional boundaries. Prereq: CPRM 830. Pre- or Co-req: CPRM 850.

This course examines both private and public institutions as systems whose effectiveness depends on how an organization adapts to opportunities, threats, and demands (external and internal). Students explore the design and leadership of ethical and socially responsible organizations. In course examples and exercises, students will apply this knowledge to their respective research interests (e.g., cybersecurity, analytics, criminal justice, public health, etc.).
