This module provides a unifying framework in which the taught content of the cyber-security programme can be brought to bear. It addresses the context for secure systems including security management and legal issues, together with rigorous approaches to assurance in such systems. It aims to equip the students with knowledge of the mechanics of how secure systems are evaluated, certified and reach deployment and provide hands on experience of processes used to evaluate security. It aims to identify crucial issues that are not yet well developed, e.g. determining return on investment.
