Cybersecurity Management

This course places students in cybersecurity manager roles to expose them to multiple security viewpoints. Students will interact with the full breadth of cybersecurity dimensions, including people, internal and external organizations, systems, and networks. They will learn how organizations strive to control all possible outcomes and occurrences within defined risk contexts as defined by company Directors. Students walk through the management discipline of cybersecurity, starting with the determination of needs and goals and the application of best practices before moving to the continual maintenance and improvement of an organization's cybersecurity stance. The course will provide students with an understanding of management roles and responsibilities including policy and process oversight, adherence to laws and regulations, cybersecurity program management, and understanding the types of reports created and reviewed by cybersecurity managers (such as reports for a Board of Directors). Prerequisite: Recommended ICT 4200 or practical experience in Information Security Principles and Practices.
