Prerequisite: DCL 600M. Serve as a contract manager and explore three major segments of the acquisition process acquisition planning, acquisition management, and contract pricing through pre-award, negotiation preparation, and post-award stages. Complete an acquisition plan using quantitative techniques to quantify and facilitate decision. Apply various cost analysis techniques and quantitative tools to evaluate a contractors cost proposal and develop a negotiation range and objective.

Prerequisite: ACM 610. Serve as a contract manager and apply legal, administrative, and ethical requirements and principles to procurement and contract management. Explore a broad array of legal issues applicable to acquisition as well as the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the American Bar Association model procurement code for state and local government.

Prerequisite: ACM 620. Serve as an acquisitions manager and acquire techniques, methodologies, and strategies designed to enhance organizational procurement and acquisition efficiency and manage supply chain issues. Explore integrated supply chains, including the integration of information, supplies, and materials flows across multiple supply chain channels; the role of information systems and technology in supply chain management; e-commerce strategies; and the development and maintenance of supply chain partnerships and other relationships.

Prerequisite: ACM 630. Serve as an acquisitions manager and explore logistical issues, techniques, methodologies, and strategies designed to enhance organizational efficiency with the acquisition lifecycle. Apply specific concepts including the total cost approach to logistics, planning and implementation, systems relationships and integration, and demand forecasting to solve logistical and asset management issues that arise within the acquisition life-cycle.

Prerequisite: ACM 640. Assume the role of an executive manager and create an acquisitions and contract management business continuity and disaster management plan. Make executive-level decisions to ensure adherence to all rules and regulations surrounding these areas. Develop long-term strategic plans for maintaining operations, reducing costs, evaluating supplier portfolios, and developing sustainable supply chains within the acquisition life-cycle. Practice ethical decision-making and negotiation techniques in analyzing cases containing detailed cost and pricing data.

(Formerly CCA 630.) Prerequisite: CCS 625. Apply the underlying concepts, standards, and technologies of cloud computing (including virtualization, cloud data management, cloud programming models, cloud analytics applications, interoperability, and portability) to the planning, design, and configuration of a cloud infrastructure. Prepare policies and documents to plan and design a cloud infra-structure successfully, including a policy document, architecture plan, cloud deployment run book, and user training plan. Perform baseline configurations on the cloud environment to satisfy business requirements. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: CCA 630 or CCS 630.

(Formerly CCA 640.) Prerequisite: CCS 630. Implement and configure a cloud environment based on specifications. Analyze current workloads, migrate existing IT systems to the cloud, and configure new systems or services to enhance business operations. Manage the implementation of the cloud to ensure successful deployment. Configure features for elasticity, availability, and scalability using industry-standard techniques, best practices, and tools. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: CCA 640 or CCS 640.

Prerequisite: COP 610. Master the application of defense-in-depth architecture in system design, and counteract threats and vulnerabilities in networks, devices, operating systems, data management systems, and applications. Identify cloud and virtualization security issues and respond to them using their countermeasures. Apply intrusion, cyber defense, and attack detection techniques in a laboratory.

Prerequisite: COP 620. Explore U.S. and international laws governing cyber operations and digital evidence. Design a cyber-offense campaign that complies with U.S laws, and apply digital forensics tools and techniques for network, media, and RAM of common operating systems and devices in a virtual environment.

Prerequisite: COP 630. Master secure design and operation principles by examining classes of well-known defects that lead to security vulnerabilities, and utilize both static and dynamic analysis tools to find those vulnerabilities. Apply secure design principles in a virtual environment.

Prerequisite: COP 640. Assume the role of a cyber warrior. Apply reverse engineering techniques to analyze malware and system software, and implement cyber-offense techniques in a laboratory to penetrate and infect a system that lacks cyber defenses.
