LEA.DU: Computer Security Analyst – Montreal

During this term you'll learn:  Doing workplace research, tasks and responsibilities related to the IT security analyst function, analyzing  and solving simple problems using basic algorithms, determining error-correcting strategies, and using debugging tools. You will also learn how to use mathematics applied to solving computer problems. To do this, you will learn to recognize and process the representations of numbers, to represent geometric figures in two dimensions through equations, to model logical reasoning, and to process quantitative data. You will also learn how to prepare and organize computers, devices, and components for different operating systems to ensure their effectiveness in carrying out the tasks required for their use in connection with computer security. Finally, you will learn how to analyze and participate in the development of network infrastructure, to evaluate and choose the hardware and software components wisely, and to produce design documents (wiring plans, diagrams, architecture, etc.).

During this term you will learn:  How to produce the various elements required (plans, diagrams, tables, etc.) for writing technical quotes and reports; choosing, installing, and monitoring computer monitoring software; applying security intervention procedures and performing computer security prevention operations. You will also learn how to develop and set up interconnection structures, analyze material needs, install devices, and keep track of your work. Finally, you will learn how to provide support to users, how to write and determine documents to help users, how to build trust and help with users, and how to help them resolve their problems.

During this term you will learn:  Defining  the characteristics of a local network; installing, connecting, and configuring interconnection devices; connecting computers to the network; setting up shared services and testing to  ensure the network works optimally. You will also learn  how to determine input and output data, the nature of simple algorithm processing, and how to use programming language to encode block chain algorithms. You will also learn to test, inspect, and debug the code used for the block chain. Finally, you will learn how to  analyze information security risks; apply recognized security measures; test the computer security of your solutions, and improve security measures.

During this term you will learn:  Recognizing and evaluating the best IT security strategies; using error and exception control techniques and using cryptography utilities. You will also learn how to analyze network architectures in order to discover flaws; Choose and install monitoring software; finding and solving vulnerabilities; quickly recognize signs of intrusion and  intervene to ensure the security of the information to be protected. You will eventually learn to recognize crimes and criminal acts in the field of computer science; to develop an ethical professional sense, and prepare for your integration into the labour market.

In this final term you will learn: To  establish professional relationships with clients and users through your attitudes and behaviors, to work and integrate into an interdisciplinary team, and to understand your ethical and legal responsibilities as a professional analyst. You will have the opportunity, through a 210 internship, to integrate all the learning achieved during your program.
