Course Objectives: |
As our lives increasingly depend on digital services, the need to protect our information from being maliciously disrupted or misused is really important. Threats to information security are global, persistent, and increasingly sophisticated. As the number of mobile users, digital applications and data networks increase, so do the opportunities for exploitation. Effective information security at the enterprise level requires participation, planning, and practice. It is an ongoing effort that requires management and staff to work together. The Cybersecurity and Information Systems Security Course will provide learners with principles of data and technology that frame and define cybersecurity along with the knowledge and skills to design a secure network infrastructure. Learners will gain insight into the importance of cybersecurity and the integral role of cybersecurity professionals. Topics include assembling the design team, modeling threats, and analyzing security risks in order to meet business requirements for securing computers in a networked environment. The course encourages decision-making skills through real-life scenarios that the target audience may encounter. You are given the task of collecting the information and sorting through the details to resolve the given security requirement. These topics also include plans and policies, enterprise roles, security metrics, risk management, standards and regulations, physical security, and business continuity.
