Bachelor of Computer Science Streams
redbar Information Systems Security Stream 2007-2008

Information systems security has become a critical issue in society because of the vulnerability of our computing and communication networks to hackers and malicious software such as viruses and worms. In addition to acquiring a solid background in computer science and software engineering, students will also learn about information systems security topics such as computer and network security, cryptography and software security.
