Managing Information Security

Catalog description

Information security is not only an IT issue, but also a management issue as well. Therefore, this course introduces students to a detailed examination of the systems-wide perspective of information security. They begin with the strategic planning process for security, which includes an examination of the policies, procedures, and staffing functions necessary to organize and administrate ongoing security functions in an organization. Course subjects include security practices, security architecture, and models, continuity planning, and disaster recovery planning. This course is one step in helping students prepare to take the SSCP certification exam.
