T81 INFO 561A View from the Bridge: Being at the Forefront of Enterprise Information Security3.0 Units
Description:This class discusses the "How-To's" in developing, organizing, staffing and leading an Information Security organization from inception through maturity. How it is supported by the CSIS Top 20 Critical Controls will also be a focal point of the course. We will discuss how to manage the harmony between regulatory standards, information security best practices and organizational practices and procedures in establishing and leading an effective Cyber Security organization. "Because organizations and their information systems constantly change, the activities within the security management process must be revised continuously, in order to stay up-to-date and effective. Security management is a continuous process and it can be compared to W. Edwards Deming's Quality Circle (Plan, Do, Check, Act)."(Control Case International 2012). Students will study initial security policies that stipulate requirements about ethics, confidentiality and integrity. Techniques for implementing and technical controls for enforcing these policies are investigated, including, access control mechanisms, user authentication, configuration and vulnerability management techniques and networking tools such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. This course explores, more deeply, the principles of information technology governance, focusing on IT control objectives (COBIT) and related internal controls. Coursework provides a deeper understanding of best practices for managing cyber security processes and meeting multiple needs of enterprise management by balancing the void between business risks, technical issues, control needs, and reporting metrics.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
