Computer Science / IT Security

Course overview

Computer science and IT security intersect in this course: the fundamentals of digital systems, networks, and programming are combined with the protection of data and systems against cyber threats. Technical content is addressed alongside the organizational and legal requirements for operating IT environments. Those who want to learn computer science will gain access to algorithms, data structures, and network infrastructures, as well as the tools to secure this technology - the foundation for tasks in IT operations and system administration. Competence Goals Apply basic concepts of digital services, web technologies, and network technologies Utilize programming logic and algorithms to solve technical issues Identify cyber threats and conduct risk assessments Implement data protection laws, IT security policies, and national and international standards in operations Plan security architectures and integrate technical protective measures Secure systems against data loss, establish emergency plans, and document recovery processes Employ cryptographic methods and security tools in the workplace Topics and Connections The starting point is the fundamentals of digitization: the functioning of digital services and web technologies, the classification of technological developments, and the construction of network infrastructures and cloud solutions. Programming builds on this - structured programming, algorithmics, data structures, and the handling of data, including its analysis and protection, already mark the transition to the second part. Here, the focus is on identifying attack scenarios, assessing vulnerabilities, and methods of risk analysis, supplemented by technical tools for securing infrastructures and cryptography. The legal aspect follows with data protection, security policies, standards, and the organizational integration of security processes into operations. The conclusion covers system administration and fault tolerance: technical documentation, emergency planning, and the recovery of systems to ensure operational continuity and data integrity. Exercises in each topic area deepen the content and build methodological competence. Career Prospects Employment opportunities arise at the intersection of IT operations and information security: Computer Scientist or IT Specialist for System Integration IT Security Officer or Information Security Officer System Administrator responsible for fault tolerance IT Security Analyst in the Security Operations Center
