organization-wide effort and managers at all levels need to
understand the fundamentals of cybersecurity to do their part in
keeping the lights on. Similarly, the field of cybersecurity is an
interdisciplinary field and requires a broad range of talent with
backgrounds from communication to computer science. Therefore,
professionals who would like to gain a holistic understanding of
cybersecurity, and increase their knowledge and space of action in
relation to the management perspective of cybersecurity, should
attend this course. |

Cybersecurity has moved from being an IT concern to becoming an
organizational concern. Securing the organization requires an
organization wide effort and our course focuses on managerial
aspects of this effort, such as risk management, cybersecurity
program management, policy and regulation. While all fields of
cybersecurity face a shortage of talent, it is most significant in
the governance of cybersecurity efforts. This creates unique
challenges and opportunities for advancement. Through the course,
we will blend in lectures, hands on technical workshops, and case
study discussions to bring our students up to speed on the latest
in management perspective of cybersecurity.
