In Short
- The third iteration of the current form of the course will be held during the first half of the Spring term 2025, from February 5 to March 27.
- The aim of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge of social engineering and human-based cyberattacks (see the ICS0018 Course Guide for details). The course is held by the IT College of Tallinn University of Technology and is primarily meant for students of Cyber Security Engineering, but other students interested in the human side of cybersecurity can also benefit from it.
- In principle, the course can be held in contact or e-learning mode (and possibly some hybrid way as well). Due to visiting students from EuroTEQ, the Spring 2025 run is a full e-course (see the Course Guide below for details).
- Course code: ICS0018
- Lecturer: Kaido Kikkas (User:Kaido.kikkas, ETIS). Note: Kristjan Karmo (usually in charge of hands-on seminars; User:Krkarm, LinkedIn) is absent this time, but will hopefully return in the future runs of the course.
- Programme: at the Study Information System - unfortunately, it only shows the Estonian version, an English-language programme is available here (note: unchanged from the previous years).
- Volume: 3 ECTS credit points
- Grading: Pass/fail
