The objective of our MIS 416/516 course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of risk management as it applies to information security and corporate assets. The course covers numerous concepts to include asset valuation, data collection, conducting a risk assessment, risk reporting and monitoring as well as presenting various risk assessment models and frameworks.
The information security arena contains a broad array of multi-level models for assessing, planning, implementing and monitoring the mitigation of security risks. At the very core of this information security spectrum are the actual system and network devices which store, manage, transmit and secure information. This course is designed to provide a working knowledge of issues and techniques surrounding the proper safeguarding of operating systems and related components.
