This course develops the skillsneeded to design and plan the implementation and maintenance of a diverse networkenvironment that meets the needs of an organization’s enterprise architecture. Studentswill evaluate various framework models currently used by businesses and governmentagencies and apply those models to the development of a network architecture thatconsiders an organization’s needs related to their business processes and theirtechnical requirements for data, information, communication, software applications, andsecurity.Credit:3 UnitsPrerequisite:NoneIT232-2 NETWORK MANAGEMENT 2This course presents the principles and practices of network administration. Studentswill evaluate and recommend specific IT infrastructure processes and current bestpractices in areas such as network configuration, user management, backupmanagement, high-reliability configuration, and system security. Network issues such asinteroperability, addressing, and routing are examined.Credit:3 UnitsPrerequisite:IT231-1
IT233-2 NETWORK MANAGEMENT 32A graduate-level course on network security. Students are provided with a briefoverview of the basic elements of networking concepts, topologies, protocols andthreats necessary to understand network security issues and make security relevantdecisions. An in-depth analysis of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model andlayered network security mechanisms needed to provide Confidentiality, Integrity,Availability, Authorization, Authentication and Non-repudiation within a networkenvironment is included. This course includes a treatment of cryptography andcryptographic services. An implementation plan and formal paper are required.Credit:3 UnitsPrerequisite:IT232-1IT234-2 NETWORK MANAGEMENT 42This is a graduate-level course on network governance and risk assessment. Effectivestrategy and policy development are the keys to unlocking the value of technology for abusiness. Students will learn to evaluate various strategies and apply them to thebusiness needs of an organization through the development and effectivecommunication of network and IT policies. The principles of network and IT governance,goal alignment, risk management, policy development, process establishment andcontinuous improvement are applied to construct an effective information technologyservice that improves performance and competitiveness within the organization.Credit:3 UnitsPrerequisite:IT233-1Data Analytics TrackIT251-2 DATA ANALYTICS 12This course deals with the current programming tools used in Data Analytics such asSAS, Python, MATLAB, and R Programming.
