Handbook

This is a Level 3 core Information Systems (IS) course. This course builds on the material covered in INFS1701 (Networking and Security) and develops your basic competence in cybersecurity management and governance in modern organisations. The first module presents cybersecurity as a human and technical challenge because both human effort and technical solutions are necessary for cybersecurity management. The overall approach to cybersecurity management taken is that of risk management. While risk management cannot eliminate all cybersecurity issues, IS contingency plans can help mitigate and control damage to IS assets. The overarching means of data protection in all organisations is via strong data governance design and frameworks. Without proper governance structure, the data attributes of cybersecurity cannot be maintained. Lastly, you also learn about emerging technological trends that places increasing emphases on cybersecurity management and governance.
