Cybersecurity and Privacy Management
This course introduces the key business, technical, legal and ethical issues in cybersecurity and privacy faced by business and government. Topics include:
(1) Evaluating cybersecurity and privacy risks and their impact on business decisions
(2) Strategies for detection and prevention of data theft and intrusions
(3) Responding effectively to a breach of personal information
(4) Unique legal and regulatory privacy and security requirements and considerations for stakeholders across a variety of industries.
Using case studies and simulations (e.g., Facebook, Equifax, Target, Yahoo), the class will analyze the management and technical causes for the breaches and actual company responses, and will apply strategies and best practices for detection and prevention of data theft and intrusions.
After completing the course, students will have a foundational knowledge of privacy and cybersecurity issues that must be addressed in for-profit, non-profit, and government activities and organizations.
