Student performance will be evaluated by the instructor based upon a rubric provided by the instructor. Objective Examinations Example: Primarily composed of typical certification examination multiple choice style questions, designed to test the students knowledge relative to cybersecurity concepts and skills. As an example: The process of warning a software manufacturer about a vulnerability is commonly known as: a. Fair Disclosure b. Blue Ribbon Analysis c. Black Box Testing d. White Box Testing Problem Solving Examinations Example: The series of online labs provide "hands-on" activities that provide students with defined problems that require a response in the form of utilization of a variety of tools (skill demonstration) in order to complete the exercise. As an example: Utilizing the available virtual lab environment, students shall configure, verify, and troubleshoot static and dynamic port security. Students shall issue a report, providing screen shots that confirm their lab activities. Student performance will be evaluated by the instructor based upon a rubric provided by the instructor. Skill Demonstrations Example: The series of online labs provide "hands-on" activities that provide students with defined problems that require a response in the form of utilization of a variety of tools (skill demonstration) in order to complete the exercise.

Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: After instructor demonstrates, students will utilize the available virtual lab environment and complete a topology discover exercise that includes: Basic Scanning, Topology Discovery against Firewalls, OS Fingerprinting, Output Logs, and Zenmap the Nmap GUI. Students shall issue a written report of their findings. (Lab Objective 1) Lecture: Following a lecture based on an in-class discussion relating to secure coding (programming), students will prepare as a group "mini" project a summary of what steps will be taken to ensure attention is paid to a security framework as part of the software development activities. (Lecture Objective 9) Distance Learning After watching instructor video lecture, students utilize NETLAB+ virtual lab environment to configure, verify, and troubleshoot static and dynamic port security. Students shall issue a report, providing screen shots that confirm their lab activities. (Lab Objective 7) Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. In preparation of an in-class discussion, read the chapter associated with "secure software development" and be prepared to discuss the ramifications of changing the law with regard to the implications associated with imposing liability on software development companies that is more in line with product liability that manufactures face (e.g., fitness for a particular purpose), relative to unintended data distribution. 2. Find information on the Internet relating to an unintended release of personal identifiable information (PII) and discuss in class the cause of the information breach and the resulting potential damage to consumers. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Utilizing www.shodan.io, identify a vulnerable system accessible from a public Internet Protocol (IP) address, and issue a report detailing the nature of the vulnerability and potential damage that may result if the vulnerability continues to exist. 2. With reference to the above vulnerability identification assignment, draft a letter to the system owner, explaining the vulnerability, utilizing the principles associated with "fair disclosure", and providing the steps you will take if the vulnerability is not removed within a prescribed time period.
