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. Cyber security 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 Cyber security.

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.
