Information security transcends all national borders and reaches out from the
global network. Whether at the local, state or national level and including the

vulnerable to cyber attacks by domestic and international terrorists as well as
foreign business competitors. The prevention of intrusion, data theft and data
loss is paramount to maintaining the security of public infrastructure, protecting
sensitive information and providing essential services to both the private and
public sector. This course will examine topics such as asset identification,
