3 credit/unit hours – Three hours of lecture weekly; one term

This course explores multidisciplinary and applied approaches to managing information security risk. Students examine technical, social, economic, legal, and political risks and implement strategies to remove not only these risks, but communication barriers between strategic, operational, and tactical level decision makers.

This course also covers related government and industry regulations and standards, as well as effective practices frequently used to assess, analyze, and manage cybersecurity risks. Traditional cybersecurity risk management techniques are discussed alongside emerging strategies and topics such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud systems.
