OTHER REQUISITES
Students who have not previously completed CIS1000 or CSC1401 at USQ will need to have prior knowledge/experience with introductory computing concepts. Students are required to have access to a personal computer, e-mail capabilities and Internet access to USQConnect. Current details of computer requirements can be found at <http://www.usq.edu.au/business/student/computerreq.htm>.RATIONALE
The amount of data and information stored electronically is growing exponentially. At the individual, organisational and societal level there is an increasing reliance on networks, the Internet and information systems to store and provide this information with the appropriate level of confidentiality, integrity and availability. Hence it is vitally important that business analysts recognise the need to ensure that corporate information, information systems and networks are appropriately secure from unintentional and intentional threats from both authorised and unauthorised users while still maintaining a high level of service.
SYNOPSIS
The increased reliance on information technology and communications (ICT) technology and in particular Internet protocol based (IP) networks including the Internet to enhance business functions and store information means students must have an understanding of the vulnerabilities and threats which systems face and the controls or countermeasures which can prevent or limit their effect. It is a goal of this course for students to develop skills and knowledge to evaluate information security situations, identify specific issues and clearly communicate appropriate recommendations. The ongoing commitment to information systems security including ethical and privacy considerations that organisations need to take is also stressed in this course.
