This course focuses on the background of approaching information security management in a systematical program, how a strategic security program is developed, how risks are evaluated, and how the program is implemented, controlled, and maintained.
After passing the course, you will be able to explain why a security program is a more long-lasting approach to security management than security projects, outline the process of strategic security program development and distinguish assets to be protected as well as identify risks to assets and evaluate business impacts.
The first module focuses on motives behind information security management in organizations. There you will learn some central terms related to information security, and clichés, hidden dynamics and influencers, which may confuse managers and discourage managers to start taking responsibility of information security in their organization. Then we will show why it is important for senior management to take the responsibility, even if it might be difficult.
