Objectives
BASIC COMPETENCES - To be able to link knowledges and face the complexity of judging from incomplete or limited information to include their own reflexions over ethical and social responsibilities in the application of their knowledge (CB8). - To communicate their conclusions, knowledge and reasoning to non specialized audience in a clear way (CB9). - To continue their self learning to keep updated in their field of studies (CB10). GENERAL COMPETENCES - To know the technical and legal framework in cibersecurity, their implications in system design and in the usage of security tools (CG4). - To develop, deploy and maintain Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) (CG5). SPECIFIC COMPETENCES - Starting from the inventory of assets of an organization apply some of the existing methodologies to perform the risk analysis and know how to transmit the results to the organization (CE9). LEARNING OUTCOMES: *Develop a risk analysis for an organization that allows the identification and evaluation of them.

Learning activities and methodology
Learning activities will consist of theoretical and practical lectures, tutoring, team working and individual work of the student. METHODOLOGY -The teacher will lecture using slides and practical demos to illustrate the students on the concepts. Bibliographic and further material will be provided to the students to go deepr into practical aspects. -The students will critically review given texts provided by the teacher. Some specialized press articles and manuals will be given for class discussion or self study -The students will present contents related to the subject, under the supervision of the teacher, to promote the discussion and constructive criticism -Students will perform personal or group assignments and deliver the documentation for evaluation, or class discussion.
