ITOP 2310: Industry Capstone Project
Effective date
September 2021
School
Continuing Studies
Description
Students will learn about project design, implementation, maintenance and monitoring. In this course, students will utilize the concepts learned in previous courses to design and implement a computer network. They will perform penetration testing in order to list vulnerabilities and come up with a patching mechanism in order to secure the entire network.
Year of study
