ISEC 510 The Senior Manager and Information Security
This course studies the responsibilities of senior managers for ensuring the security of processes and information systems used in their organizations. Given a request for an approval to operate an information system at a specified level of trust, the senior manager will analyze and judge the information provided for validity and reliability to ensure the system will operate at the proposed level of trust. This judgment will be predicated on an understanding of system architecture, system security measures, systems operations policy, system security management plan, legal and ethical considerations, and provisions for system operator and end user training. Students taking this course will learn to integrate their knowledge in these areas to make effective security decisions.
