MGT456 Securing Corporate Information

The proliferation of corporate databases and the development of telecommunication network technology as gateways to intrusion are examined. Ways of investigating the management of the risk and security of the data systems are presented as a function of design through recovery and protection. Issues of risk and security, as they relate to specific industries and government, are major topics in the course. Examples are presented of how major technological advances in computer and operating systems have placed data, as tangible corporate assets, at risk. Quantitative techniques for risk assessment and for qualitative decision making under uncertainty are explored. Prerequisite(s): MGT403 4 quarter hours
