2159 Information Security (INFOSEC)
(3-0-3)
Information security transcends all national borders and reaches out from the
global network. Whether at the local, state or national level and including the
private sector, critical information must be shared across internet and intranet as
a principal part of required daily procedures. As a result, these institutions are
vulnerable to cyber attacks by domestic and international terrorists, as well as
foreign business competitors. The presentation of intrusion, data theft and data
loss is paramount to maintaining the security of public infrastructure, protecting
sensitive information and providing external services to both the private and public
sector. This course will examine topics such as asset identification, human factors,
compliance with regulations, personnel security, risk assessment and ethical
considerations as well as computer and network security tools and methods. It will
provide an up-to-date look at the whole range of security and information topics.
In post-9/11 times, managers and IT Professionals need to address a wide range
of security-related issues, and develop security systems that take all these diverse
factors into account.
