Semester 2 (ONC)Toowoomba (EXT)Toowoomba
Units 1.0 (Security Science) Band 2
Pre-requisite: CIS1000
The increased reliance on technology to enhance business functions 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. In this course students will be expected to apply structured risk analysis techniques to determine vulnerability, threat and control profiles for an organisation. Students will then need to develop an Information Security Management Plan which reflects the findings of risk analysis. The ongoing commitment to information systems security that organisations need to take is also stressed in this course.
