Course Content
Information technology security and risk management provides a mechanism to the organization to ensure that the current risks are known and informed decisions can be made to either avoid, transfer, mitigate or accept these risks. Each principle risk management decision comes with a cost. An organizations information assets contain highly interconnected, interdependent systems and necessitate the requirement to understand the relationship between information technologies and meet business objectives. Information security management establishes the foundation of a comprehensive and proactive security program to ensure the protection of an organizations information assets, whereas the information technology risk management becomes an invaluable tool in hands of decision makers to provide the most cost effective control mechanisms to protect their cyber ecosystem and link information technology risks to business functions.
