MATC 2025-26 Catalog

ITSEC – ITSUP

Also, the class will cover imaging mobile devices, understanding cellular records and their use in cellular evidence. Students will learn the ability to utilize forensics tools to conduct analysis of mobile devices. In addition to being able to create an evidence case report. ITSEC-158 Credits: 3 Cloud Security Cloud Security is an “open” course focused on virtualization in the cloud and the technology concepts and principles required to build and secure a cloud infrastructure. This vendor-neutral class is applicable to all IT security professionals whose responsibilities are expanding across all technology domains, including the setup and security of servers, storage, networking and applications in the cloud. ITSEC-166 Credits: 3 Advanced Forensics This course will address advanced topics in computer forensics, mobile forensics, network forensics and incident response. Topics include data hiding, encryption, advanced Windows registry, steganography and password recovery. Prerequisite(s): Complete ITSEC-126. ITSEC-176 Credits: 3 Malware Forensics This course will start from malware basics and gradually teach the learners how to perform a malware forensic investigation as a part of incident response. In addition, an introduction to reverse-engineering malware will be provided. Since familiarity with programming is necessary for this course, an introduction to programming using Python and/or C is covered at the beginning of the course. In addition, general familiarity with networking and TCP/IP, operating system internals (Windows and Unix), computer security, digital forensics, and incident response is very essential for this course. ITSEC-191 Credits: 1 Information Systems Security Internship 2 Students will explore the field of professional computing, information technology and information systems security by working in a real work environment and applying the skills gained from courses previously taken in the information systems security program. The practical work experience will be gained under the supervision of an information technology professional supervisor in day-to-day, on-site technical work. Prerequisite(s): Complete INTRN-796 with a grade of C or higher. ITSEC-194 Credits: 1 Security Project Implementation This course helps students gain in-demand skills. The course emphasizes real and hands-on experience in different areas of security such as security assessment, virtualization, log file consolidation, design and installation of security tools such as firewalls, IDSs, VPNs, and other existing or new technologies.

as developing a system to provide early warning of information attack. The class teaches students how to identify, exploit and secure well-known and little-known vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and UNIX/Linux operating systems. Moreover, it explores common weaknesses in router and firewall installations, teaching the methods that are used to circumvent traditional and “hardened” security filters or firewalls. This core technology area is also concerned with fusion of data from multiple sensors to form a real-time picture of the Information Assurance battle space. Protective measures and Incident Response Checklist are covered in this course. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITSEC-135 or ITSEC-136, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course. ITSEC-148 Credits: 3 Securing Wireless Devices and Networks Students learn wireless network fundamentals and physical layer standards to build and secure WLAN; to install, configure and manage Cisco Air connect and 3Com air Connect security and network security settings; and troubleshooting. Devices such as PDAs, wireless cameras and other cutting-edge technologies will be explored. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITSEC-124, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course. ITSEC-151 Credits: 3 IT – Auditing In this course, all six domains of the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) exam are covered, including the knowledge and technical concepts as specified by CISA certification. These domains include Information System Auditing Process, IT Governance, System and Infrastructure Lifecycle management, IT Service Delivery and Support, Protection of Information Assets, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITSEC-114, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course. ITSEC-152 Credits: 3 Information Security Risk Management This course will introduce the student to information security risk management frameworks, based on internationally accepted standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and others. Students will become familiar with the basic aspects of the various standards, and will practice their use in measuring risks related to security, regulatory compliance and audits. At course completion students will have an understanding of risk management strategies and practices, as well as some basic skill in practical application of those strategies. ITSEC-156 Credits: 3 Mobile Devices Forensics In this course, students will learn the history and evolution of mobile forensics, understand the cellular network and components, and learn the legal aspects in obtaining cellular evidence.

ITSEC-124

Credits: 3

Network Security (Security+) Students will focus on the fundamentals and implementation of network security including secure access methods and vulnerabilities in network protocols, operating systems and network applications. Students will use techniques and tools for developing secure infrastructure. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITNET-101, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course. ITSEC-126 Credits: 3 Computer Forensics This course familiarizes the student with methods of properly conducting a computer forensics investigation, beginning with a discussion of ethics. The goal is to conduct a structured investigation to determine exactly what happened, and who was responsible, and to perform the investigation in such a way that the results are useful in a criminal proceeding. Students will practice how to collect and analyze the digital evidence left behind at a crime scene. This course maps to the objectives of the International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists (IACIS) certification. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITSUP-102, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course. ITSEC-136 Credits: 3 Unix/Linux Administration and Security Unix/Linux server hardening methods and tools are covered in this course. In addition, the security tools and applications inside Unix/Linux are taught. Particularly, students will learn how to protect password files, monitor log files, use port scanners, network scanners, traceroute and ping. Additional topics include secure remote connections such as SSH. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITSEC-124 and ITNET-161, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course. ITSEC-145 Credits: 3 Perimeter Security This course covers advanced router configuration, advanced firewall configuration and management, VPN solutions, configuration and management of IDS/IPS, log monitoring, consolidation and reporting. Designing secure network architectures is also covered. Labs utilize a variety of equipment and software from a number of different vendors.
