Students will learn the practical knowledge from the modern operating system security. The main stress is put to the most popular OS platforms, namely Windows, Linux and macOS. For each platform, the students learn how to use built-in mechanisms for data encryption, authentication and network security. Students also learn the principles of iOS and Android mobile platform security. After successful completions, the students will be able to:
- Analyze and correctly implement the encryption mechanisms on Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems.
- Analyze and correctly implement the authentication mechanisms on Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems.
- Explain the principles and manage security mechanisms of the network subsystems on Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems.
- Explain the basic principles of the iOS and Android platform security.
- Use the basic security principles in the virtualized environment.

No special prerequisites are required. Only high school knowledge and general PC usage experience is expected.
