Overview
Throughout the Systems Security module at The Open University UK , you’ll develop knowledge and understanding of these important cyber security subject areas. The proliferation of digital systems impacts our daily lives, bringing a range of challenges, including the security of these systems. Systems range from those embedded in our homes – providing security, energy management and home automation capabilities – to desktop and mobile computing systems, and control systems powering the 4th industrial revolution.
Vocational relevance
Securing digital systems requires qualified technical cyber security professionals. They need the knowledge and skills to analyse threats against the security of these systems, evaluate suitable solutions that minimise the risk of these threats being realised, and implement these solutions and monitor their efficacy. Within the broader field of cyber security, these activities fall into the domain of systems security, which is the focus for this module.
