Advanced Security for Systems Engineering - 2022W (183.645)

We hold our lecture Advanced Security for Systems Engineering (183.645) for different master studies of information science in 2022W. Current information regarding the lecture is also available via a RSS feed. You can also get some information on the lecture in TISS.

Advanced Security for Systems Engineering is a lecture with exercises which concentrates on advanced IT security aspects as a whole for IT systems. As a prerequisite for the lecture you need to know the content of the lectures Introduction to Security and Security for Systems Engineering. After the lecture Advanced Security for Systems Engineering you can visit our lecture IT Security in Large IT Infrastructures.

Registration

The registration was in TISS until October 14, 2022.

Distance Learning

For the winter term 2022, TU Wien has planned to have as much face-to-face teaching as possible again. Therefore, we will hold this course in face-to-face format.

If this is not possible due to the COVID-19 situation, we will switch to a distance format. In this case, we will -- if not stated otherwise directly at the lecture -- transcribe each of our lectures and publish the slides as well as the transcription.

You will get the slides on the evening before the lecture, at the latest. At the beginning of the lecture times, we will be available for discussions in INSO Jitsi -- the details will be available in tuwel.

Additionally, you can raise questions in the tuwel forum of the lecture.

The test is carried out orally in the lab teams.
