MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSESSMENT
This assessment requires you to demonstrate your learning in two distinct ways: (1) Through your
understanding of application, network and device architecture; and (2) by identifying appropriate
countermeasures and tools that reduce or mitigate the risk of attack. Importantly, you will be using an office
context – titled BRUNEL TECH START-UP – as the context through which to demonstrate your learning. This
threshold coursework assesses all three of the module’s learning outcomes, as listed in the CS3609 study guide:
LO1: Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts and theories of Cybersecurity.
LO2: Demonstrate evidence of critical thinking, analysis, synthesis and evaluation in the design and
formulation of Cybersecurity solutions.
LO3: Select relevant Cybersecurity tools and techniques, and show how they can be effectively applied
to solve real-world problems in the Cyberspace.

in this module through your threshold coursework report which requires you to complete five tasks in relation

You must list all of the literature that you reference in your report in a Harvard format bibliography (providing
a minimum of 5 references).
