Objectives and Contextualisation
The subject Security and Technology, within the framework of the public security coordinator mention, addresses the different issues that affect security processes in relation to new technologies.
Specifically, two cases closely related to artificial intelligence, big data and remote control devices will be studied:
A) Biometrics for public and private security purposes.
B) The use of drones for investigative purposes within the framework of public police and judicial powers.
More specifically, the impact of these technologies on the sophistication of security processes will be analyzed, taking into account the legal framework of automated decisions and their impact on fundamental rights, equality and the principle of transparency.
Competences
- Act with ethical responsibility and respect for fundamental rights and duties, diversity and democratic values.
- Carry out analyses of preventative measures in the area of security.

- Make changes to methods and processes in the area of knowledge in order to provide innovative responses to society's needs and demands.
- Make efficient use of ITC in the communication and transmission of results.
- Plan and coordinate the resources of the three large subsystems that interact in questions of security: people, technology and infrastructures.
- Respond to problems applying knowledge to practice.
- Students must be capable of applying their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and they should have building arguments and problem resolution skills within their area of study.

- Use the capacity for analysis and synthesis to solve problems.
- Work and learn autonomously.
- Work in institutional and interprofessional networks.

Methodology
Taking into account that the modality of the class is Online, with the aim of achieving the learning objectives described in this Guide, we will develop a methodology that combines the individual study from the readings that will be presented in each topic.
It is important to mention that the main objective of the video classes is to resolve the doubts related to the syllabus, therefore it is essential to prepare the topics before each session.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
EVALUATION
There will be two individual PECs corresponding to the two paradigmatic cases studied in the course: biometric technology and drones.
Each PEC has a weight of 25% with respect to the final grade of the course. The remaining 50% corresponds to the theoretical exam.
The exam averages with the continuous assessment regardless of the grade obtained.
RE-EVALUATION
In case of not passing the subject according to the aforementioned criteria (continuous evaluation), a recovery test may be done on the date scheduled in the schedule, and it will cover the entire contents of the program.
To participate in the reassessment the students must have been previously evaluated of a set of activities, the weight of which equals a minimum of two-thirds of the total grade of the subject. However, the qualification that will consist of the student's file is a maximum of 5-Approved.
Students who need to change an evaluation date must present the justified request by filling in the document that you will find in the moodle space of Tutorial EPSI.
PLAGIARISM
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student makes any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, it will be graded with a 0 This evaluation act, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed In case of various irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 ".
The tests / exams may be written and / or oral at the discretion of the teaching staff.
