Course Overview
Participants learn to develop risk-management frameworks to enable organizations to effectively assess relevant threats, current and ongoing vulnerability profile and plan for and take appropriate action to manage the overall risk. Corporate networks today face increased threat levels and have regulatory requirements regarding the security, privacy, integrity and availability of information under their control. There are also connectivity requirements ranging from employee telecommuting to WiFi hot spots. Students will gain practical knowledge and experience by working with risk management frameworks in a group project and in-class group activities.
