GRBU 641 - IS Security & Risk Management |
This course examines the important area of information security and risk management. Essentially, students will explore the tools and methods used to assess a company’s vulnerability to a variety of ‘bad outcomes’ – data theft, data corruption, interruption of service, and so on – as well as the methods used to avoid those bad outcomes. In so doing, students will examine security from a variety of perspectives, including managerial (e.g., formation and enforcement of security policies, related IS governance issues, and personnel training) and technical (e.g., security hardware and software solutions, as well as the development and implementation of controls in applications, networks and operating systems). The technical perspective also includes hands-on use of the tools and techniques employed by hackers to gain access to information systems and confidential data.
