Course Objectives:	This course is designed to teach students how to engage all functional levels within the enterprise to deliver information system security. To this end, the course addresses a range of topics, each of which is vital to securing the modern enterprise. These topics include inter alia plans and policies, enterprise roles, security metrics, risk management, standards and regulations, physical security, and business continuity. Each piece of the puzzle must be in place for the enterprise to achieve its security goals; adversaries will invariably find and exploit weak links.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Assess the current security landscape, including the nature of the threat, the general status of common vulnerabilities, and the likely consequences of security failures
2) Critique and assess the strengths and weaknesses of general cybersecurity models, including the CIA triad
3) Appraise the interrelationships among elements that comprise a modern security system, including hardware, software, policies, and people
4) Assess how all domains of security interact to achieve effective system-wide security at the enterprise level.
5) Compare the interrelationships among security roles and responsibilities in a modern information-driven enterprise—to include interrelationships across security domains (IT, physical, classification, personnel, and so on)
6) Assess the role of strategy and policy in determining the success of information security;
7) Estimate the possible consequences of misaligning enterprise strategy, security policy, and security plans,
8) Assess the role of good metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) in security assessment and governance,
9) Create a good set of information security metrics
10) Evaluate the trends and patterns that will determine the future state of cybersecurity.
