Information Security Management
Develop comprehensive security strategies to protect organizational assets and sensitive data through risk assessment and governance frameworks
Course Overview
This comprehensive training program prepares IT professionals to develop and implement information security management strategies that protect organizational assets. The curriculum covers risk assessment methodologies, security frameworks including ISO 27001 and NIST, and compliance requirements relevant to modern enterprise environments.
Participants learn vulnerability management processes, incident response procedures, and security awareness training development. The program addresses identity and access management principles, data loss prevention strategies, and cloud security considerations for hybrid infrastructure environments.
Students gain practical experience with SIEM tools for security event monitoring, conduct security audits following industry standards, and develop comprehensive security policies. The training emphasizes governance frameworks that align technical security controls with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
Course projects include creating incident response plans, conducting organizational risk assessments, and implementing security governance frameworks. This practical approach prepares participants for roles overseeing security programs or transitioning from technical positions into security management responsibilities.
