Created as part of the Master of Network and Security - 2014

17/7/13 Adding ASCED code and teaching responsibility. Effective Semester 1 2014.

12/08/2013 changing the unit objectives as suggested by the education quality director.

09/07/2015: Change of pre-req by CE Phu Dung Le. Students who have completed FIT5037 have sufficient knowledge and experience to take FIT5129, therefore the requirement to complete FIT5163 is no longer necessary. Change to take effect in Semester 1,2016.

26/08/2015 added justification for 100% in-semester assessment by Phu Dung Le.

05/05/2016 made change to the unit assessment. This unit was developed in the same fashion as FIT5037 and FIT5037 assessment was changed from 100% in-semester assessment to 30% exam and 70% in-semester assessment. Therefore I am proposing the change to this unit assessments for the consistency across the security main stream of the Masters degrees.

8/5/2016: Amended assessment as changed by CE to just document what it has been changed to - CE has changed FIT5129 assessment from 100% in-semester assessment to 30% examination and 70% in-semester assessment for the purpose of maintaining consistency across the security stream of the Masters degrees.

20/9/2019: Admin - updating exam duration to include additional 10 minutes as per University requirement.

27/08/2020: Admin - update CE.

8/9/202: New CE (Chan Cheah) made 3 changes. Reasons for Changes:

Enterprise networks are highly complex infrastructures that demand correct management practices in planning, operations and security. Significant challenges arise from the scale of operations required as well as the increasingly common incidents of intrusion, sabotage, espionage or data theft, and vandalism. The unit will provide students with practical foundations in planning secure networks, policy-based operations and the implementation of security. Students will also be introduced to best practices in dealing with security breaches. Practical skills will be acquired through lab activities and case studies (projects).

On-campus

Assessment: 100% in-semester assessment.

There are 3 major in-semester assessment-assignments, which apply scaffolding learning and provide support for students: Individual Assignment 1, which focuses on developing research and critical thinking capabilities when applying the unit's knowledge; Group Assignment 2, which applies the unit's knowledge, research and critical thinking capabilities to solve a case-based problem; Individual Assignment 3 (replacing the exam), which develops reflective thinking from all that is learnt from the previous 2 assignments by students from both group and individual learning perspectives.
