Hello,

I've heard a bit about "information systems" and "computer security systems technology" but I haven't been able to find anything about this type of study at my college's website. I don't think these terms are correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is something similar.

The context of such work could be military software security and intelligence gathering I guess... protecting our own networks from cyber-invasions and of course doing our own share of cyber-invasion.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to read up about this kind of stuff? I'm kind of curious about this.

Thanks.

Update: I found out some information on it.

Apparently it's just called "Computer Security" and there are a few specializations within it.
