<p>Cloud and mobile computing are essential technologies in contemporary computing. Their wide usage in software applications exemplifies the need to appreciate and understand the security threats that exist in this area. This subject covers the security and privacy aspects of both mobile and cloud computing, where students will not only gain knowledge to manage and secure mobile devices, data, applications, and infrastructure, but also obtain practice in cloud operation and virtual machines management. The course aligns with requirements for the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification.</p>
