Rationale

It is vitally important that managers and IS professionals have a good understanding of Cyber Security from a strategic perspective. This includes planning for security, development of security policy and its implementation in security programs underpinned by security management models and best practice, with appropriate risk management and controls in place. It is also important to have a good appreciation of importance of people, law and ethics in the management of Cyber Security programs in organisations. In order to effectively manage and protect the information assets of organisations students need to develop the knowledge and skills required for security planning, development, implementation and evaluation of security policy and programs.

Synopsis

This course provides students with a good grounding in the key components for developing implementing and evaluating an Cyber Security strategy in an organisation. Students will design develop and implement security policy and programs in organisations. Students will be assessed on their understanding on how to conduct Cyber Security planning and develop security policy and plan for the implementation of security programs, models and practices. The importance of risk management through appropriate use of controls, and the role of people, law and ethics is emphasised in the assessments.
