This two-day course is designed to give information technology (IT) and network managers the practical knowledge required to ensure the security of their information assets. The course begins by addressing the concepts of information security, survivability, and risk management, including the layered approach to survivability and the elements of risk analysis and assessment. The course also focuses on the IT manager's role in increasing an organization's security, from policy definition to business continuity and disaster recovery planning.
Attendees will learn how to evaluate their organization's security and make effective decisions using risk management best practices. Moreover, they will learn best practices to ensure the availability of critical assets while operating under common resource constraints. Additionally, the course covers techniques for identifying failure points within the IT environment as well as best practices for mitigating their risk. Finally, the course provides a foundation in the life-cycle processes of configuration management and control: certification and accreditation, implementation, monitoring, testing and evaluation, coordination and communication, and documentation.
The course involves lecture/briefings, demonstrations, scenario-based exercises, and open discussion to help participants develop their understanding of the problems and strategies for ensuring the security of their organizations' critical assets.
