Holistic Security for Business Leaders
Class Overview:
Organizations are struggling under the weight of privacy, security, risk and compliance concerns. How often do you see reports in the news on data breeches, identity theft, corporate espionage, successful hacking attempts, data loss, fraud, regulatory violations and corrupt business practices? In most organizations, information is the second most important resource an organization controls, and ensuring the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information is crucial to success.
This half-day session has been designed to explore the need for a paradigm shift in Information security management. Organizations should adopt a holistic approach to managing information security. An intelligent mix of policies, standards, guidelines, technology, human issues, education, risk management, legal and ethical issues will help organization ensure their security management system supports the goals, objectives and compliance requirements of the business.
