                                             A Track of the SE Program (SE-CYS)
               INTRODUCTION

               Due to recent developments in the area of information technology and the fast evolution of technology,
               most of the organizations either local or international are now placing their valuable data on computer
               systems  that  are  exposed  to  public.  Without  proper  protection,  this  data  can  be  easily  accessed,
               compromised  or  even  damaged.  Cybersecurity  is  becoming  a  major  concern  for  public  and  private
               organizations. The College of Computer and Information Sciences at Prince Sultan University has approved
               a cyber security track. This track will provide students with the abilities and skills to deal with emerging
               technologies and approaches in the area of Cybersecurity.

               Students in any of the three undergraduate programs offered: Computer Science, Information Systems
               and/or Software Engineering are eligible to opt for this track. Students that have completed the junior year
               in the above programs would have to take the five courses defined in the track, substituting the elective
               courses in their existing plans in order to complete the cyber security track requirements.

               TRAK OBJECTIVES | LEARNING OUTCOMES
               In addition to SE seven learning Outcomes, the Cyber Security track enables students after graduation to:
               Apply security principles and practices to maintain operations in the presence of risks and threats
