Overview

Under the Smart Nation initiative in 2014, it is anticipated that there shall be growing inter-connectvitiy betweeen smart devices and sensors. Increased interconnectivity leads to increased dependencies between smart devices and sensors. Hence, it is crucial that each node in the network of devices implements safeguards to thwart potential cybersecurity attacks. In 2019, Singapore attanined the status of Common Criteria Certificate Authorising Nation. Common Criteria is the de facto standard for cybersecurity product certification around the world. Today, 31 nations, including Singapore are of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) for mutual recognition of certification. This course seeks to provide participants with a basic understanding of the following:
(a) Common Criteria (CC) processes
(b) Security problems and security objectives reconciliation
(c) Security architecture
(d) Test coverage and suitability
(e) Security risk in product life-cycle
(f) Vulnerability analysis
