Informatics, Applied Information Security Management, Second Cycle

Education facts

Code: IK447A

This course deals with how to manage information security in practice. Thus, we take an overall perspective on how to govern and guide information security from a manager’s perspective. The teaching is mainly case-based, which means that scenarios from real-world examples are used as a point of departure for the four major areas we will cover: i) organizational management systems and information security management systems and their relation; ii) how to analyze an implemented management system based on relevant ISO standards; iii) how to carry out an information asset classification; and iv) how to carry out a risk analysis. After completing the course, the students will be able to carry out relevant information security assessments.
