Learning outcomes |
The objectives of this course unit are as follows: a) In terms of knowledge, at the end of the semester, it is expected that the student knows and understands the origin of security problems in clouds and datacenters, as well as the technology, mechanisms and systems that are used to solve some of those problems or to assure the availability, confidentiality and integrity of the information therein stored or processed. b) in terms of skills, to motivate the development of a critical reasoning towards security problems in clouds, as well as the ability to conduct research in this area of knowledge autonomously, namely through the proposal, implementation and validation of security mechanisms. c) In terms of competences, it is expected that the student develops the ability to handle security related tools and algorithms, and configure information assurance and security systems. The contribution to train a specialist in technologies related with cloud is also an objetive.
