The capstone provides students with an opportunity to integrate and apply their knowledge in IT security, governance, and project management. Students will lead or contribute to project teams, gaining experience in collaborative governance, secure development, and project management, culminating in a team presentation. It may involve managing or contributing to a hands-on software project, encompassing stages such as requirements gathering, secure development, version control, and testing, all within the framework of IT security and governance. This real-world or simulated project bridges theory and practice, preparing students for industry challenges.
