MGMT 6815 - Strategic Management and Governance of Information Assets

It is crucial for an organization to manage and secure information assets -- both its own and those it maintains with third parties. This course examines the following: information asset governance, including frameworks and models from select standards boards as well as applicable laws and regulations; practices for identifying and classifying information assets; and techniques for protecting virtual information assets. The course also includes a non-technical overview of practical applications of cryptographic theory and code-breaking, including quantum computing, and the legal implications and liabilities for failing to do so. 3 credits.
