https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYglUBo7kIQ

Nau mai, haere mai, welcome!CYBR171 “examines how cybersecurity affects individuals and society and aims to develop understanding that the concept of cybersecurity goes beyond technology to include people, information, and processes. It will examine key concepts as well as current issues and debates about how to respond to cybersecurity. Note that this course will involve using a range of security tools but does not involve programming. Students will also write short essays related to current debates around cybersecurity issues.”

Our teaching philosophyMost of your learning is done outside of the lectures.

- By doing assigned reading.- Reviewing lecture notes and videos.- Practical handson exercises in laboratories.- Completing assignment work.- Reviewing feedback on labs and assignments.

My role is to:- Share my knowledge- Create an environment where you can learn- Model how to be “productively stupid”

(http://jcs.biologists.org/content/121/11/1771)- we can’t know everything- that’s okay- what we do learn is how to find out what we don’t know


http://jcs.biologists.org/content/121/11/1771

Where do we live?CO129 and CO131.

You can also email us or catch us after a lecture.Door is open means we are available for any queries.


What is Cybersecurity

Te Reo Maori: haumara-a-rorohiko

Technology, people, information and processes

Safe or assured operations despite being attacked by adversaries

Aspects of law, policy, human factors, ethics, and risk management

Penetration testers, programmers building secure software, consultants, system administrators, incident handlers, devOps…

When stuff goes wrong

Two late days for assignments (not labs), no need to ask.

doctor’s certificate)

Miss the terms test? Talk to course coordinator asap.

Not going to get 40% for assessments? Talk to course coordinator.

Miss the exam? Science Faculty.


Mandatory Course RequirementsMandatory requirement means: “If you fail to meet these requirements, even if you do everything else perfectly. I believe this shows a gap in your knowledge, severe enough to warrant you failing in the course.”

You must get 40% in the final exanimation or better.

You must get 40% across the assignments and laboratory exercises.

Failing to meet both of these condition => K grade.


Withdrawal DatesWithdrawal with refund - up to and including 13th March - no consequences

Withdrawal without refund - 14th March - 15th May - Withdrawal Recorded - No grade recorded on transcript - Withdrawal counts as a fail for demonstrating

"Satisfactory Academic Progress"

Late withdrawal with Dean’s permission:- after 15 May. - Requires permission of Associate Dean (Pondy).- Given - only when special circumstances arise.


Plagarism (Cheating)

You must not present anybody else’s work as if it was your own work:- Basic principle of academic honesty.- Applies to work by other students, friends, relatives, the

web, books …- If you received substantial help, then you must state

who helped and how much.- If you declare any work from someone else, then it isn’t

plagarism!!! (but they must not have done it for you).


Plagarism (Cheating)We encourage you to talk to each other and help each other understand and solve problems BUT

The work you submit should be yours.

If you use resources, quotes, or ideas from the lectures, assignments or tutors then you do not need to declare it, from any other source, then declare it!

Consequences of Plagarism are severe and can include immediate failure of the course.


Your ExpectationsAssigned work is prescriptive, makes clear what you are and not expected to do.

Focus on acquisition of basic knowledge and development of fundamental skills.

Return grades within two weeks of submission of assessment work.

Provide feedback on assessed work either to the class as a whole and/or on returned work.

Post at least partial slides prior to the class and full slides afterwards.

Respond to emails with CYBR 171 in the subject line.

Have office hours.


Our ExpectationsBe able to restate knowledge in your own words and apply to well defined simpler problems.

Take responsibility for meeting due dates and deadlines, talk to the course coordinator if you cannot.

Please be civil in the lecture rooms, noise carries and is disruptive to other students.

Missed a lab, attend another but if full try another one.

Participation in class is an expectation BUT if you don’t feel comfortable just say PASS or nod your head and we will move onto next person.
