Course Description

Game theory provides a framework for understanding complicated problems in a way that will allow for accurate prediction of outcomes. Students will evaluate security threats and vulnerabilities, using game theory principles. Studying game theory and the solutions to complicated scenarios helps cultivate a discipline to problem solving that assists security professionals in developing solutions to complicated problems. Since many security problems involve social engineering, game theory helps reduce those problems to something more quantifiable and actionable.
