"Basic Antiviral Security"
Course Program
The course aims: The Course Program is oriented towards any person who needs antiviral security knowledge. It enables one of obtaining help for tutoring and upgrading specialists in data antiviral protection area. The Program introduces computer viruses working principles and methods of its disabling; the structure of program complex produced by The Ukrainian Antiviral Center, gives an opportunity to learn its possibilities and functions. The knowledge and skills acquired enable one of finding computer viruses in PC, prevent computer virus epidemic by predicting possible ways of virus penetrating into informational system, localize epidemic, recover informational systems functioning (if there is such a possibility), delete viruses using antiviral toolkit.
The main directions of tutoring:
- theoretical basis of computer virus and Trojan programs detecting, identifying and neutralizing;
- providing security of informational technologies;
- law basis of antiviral data protection;
- modern hardware/software data antiviral protection means.
