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.
The course can be held in contact or e-learning mode (and possibly some hybrid way as well). Due to large number of visiting students from EuroTEQ, the Spring 2023 run is a full e-course (again see the guide for details). Note: this run is the first under the aegis of the university (it was run once in 2018 as part of the earlier IT College curriculum) - some irregularities can be expected!
