Connections Between Security Disciplines
In connection with the preceding Digital Forensics degree, secure software engineering examines application-level risks such as input validation, authorization, and secret handling. Network defense concerns protocol behavior, traffic visibility, and access boundaries. Cryptographic protection and the enforcement of user or process permissions are separate security objectives; one does not substitute for the other.
Cybersecurity Engineering, Secure Software Engineering, and Computer Networks connect these disciplines at the system level. The reliability of an incident investigation depends on correlating network traffic, application events, process state, and persistent or volatile evidence.
One term project addressed spyware, focusing on covert collection, persistence, communications, and the forensic traces those behaviors may produce. Such analysis requires both authorization boundaries and the reproducibility of technical findings to be considered explicitly.
