Certificate of Advanced Study in Information Security Management

Information is a critical asset within any organization and its security is of key corporate and national interest. With the complexity of today's hardware and software, and the complexity added by their networking, the need for managing information security becomes more pressing. Information security management can be defined as the comprehensive skills that manage a high degree of complex technical security, increased operational costs, and diverse user behavior. Senior executives and managers, as well as technical staff, who have strong information security management skills, can make educated security decisions for their organizations.

The Certificate of Advanced Study in Information Security Management provides a comprehensive framework for information security management, enabling students to take a lead role in this area within their organizations in the future. The 15-credit certificate program provides students, depending on their background, with the flexibility to take coursework that does not overlap with their current expertise but gives them tools in information security technology, policy, and management. 

This certificate is offered in both campus and distance learning formats, and can be completed as a full-time or part-time student.
