The course aims to address the “Big Data” and “Data Analysis” problem, faced by organisations today; teaching students the process of designing a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) architecture, and how it is integrated into a Security Operations Centre.
Course Learning Outcomes
The student has knowledge of
| K1 | concepts related to dealing with “Big Data”, to detect incidents or information of importance to an organisation. |

| K2 | log analytics and threat hunting metrics. |
| K3 | ifferent logging sources and types. |
The student gain skills in
| S1 | the identification and creation of intelligence requirements through practices such as threat modelling. |
|---|---|
| S2 | the generation of threat intelligence to detect, respond to, and defeat focused and targeted threats. |
| S3 | the design of a SIEM. |
The student can demonstrate
| G1 | presenting arguments based on data analyses. |
|---|---|
| G2 | communicating concepts and techniques to analyse data. |

- Teaching will be based on a hybrid-flexible approach. Instructor-led face-to-face learning is combined with online learning in a flexible course structure that gives students the option of attending sessions in the classroom, participating online, or doing both.
- All activities require active student participation in their own learning.
- Learning delivery methods and available resources will be selected to ensure constructive alignment with course content, learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
- Students will be taught using a mixture of guidance, self-study, and lecture material. Topics will be introduced in a series of weekly lectures. The guidance sessions will be directed practical exercises and reading in which students can explore topics with support from a teacher. This material will also require students to self-manage their time to ensure tasks are completed and the theory is fully understood. This will allow the students to fully engage with lectures and with their peers.
- Learning resources are available in the LMS and include, but is not limited to:
- literature and online reading material (essential and recommended)
- streams, recordings and other digital resources, where applicable
- video conferencing and communication platforms, if applicable
- tools, software and libraries, where applicable
- Students must have access to an internet connection, and suitable hardware.
- Accessing live streams and virtual laboratories requires a minimum broadband connection of 2Mbps (4Mbps recommended).
- Students working on their own laptop/computer are required to acquire appropriate communications software, e.g., webcam, microphone, headphones.
