CSA 335 - Critical Infrastructure and Homeland Security (3 credits) This course provides both traditional students and current practitioners with a broad, up-to-date, multidisciplinary overview of the framework for cyber assurance in the collaborative homeland security environment at the federal, state, local and tribal levels within our cyber security framework. This course will allow students to evaluate the national cyberspace framework, the role of cyber security and critical infrastructure protection, hazards and the role of science and technology as an asset to help analyze the needed safeguards and integration of cyber talent at all levels of government to include support from industry. This course integrates a variety of sources, themes, methodologies and online learning activities, including presentations, assigned readings, internet research, assessments, informal class opinion polls, threaded discussion forums, and case studies involving natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina, and ultimately the attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001 and the subsequent adoption of a formal U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Appropriate historical foundations will be included along with essential components of a mechanism for homeland security that transcends support from the entire global cyber infrastructure from the federal, state, local and tribal levels in support where we will stress and discuss the importance of coordinating various plans and strategies among local, state and federal government response organizations. Prerequisite(s): CSA 130 . Spring.
