Course Description

Learn the principles of information security to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Discuss the modes of threats and attacks on information systems, threat mitigation, cryptography, user identification and authentication, access control, privacy laws, and more.

Course Introduction

The first network was invented in the late 1960s with the birth of ARPAnet, a project launched by the US Department of Defense (DoD). That network advanced into what is now known as the Internet and has grown into a global phenomenon to become an integral part of our daily lives. The Internet connects the world on a social, business, and governmental level. So much information is stored and transferred online that the Internet has become a target for criminals. Any devices connected to the Internet must be protected from unauthorized disclosure using tools prescribed by the discipline of information security.

This course covers information security principles, an area of study that engages in protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Information security continues to grow with advancements in technology – as technology advances, so do threats, attacks, and our efforts to mitigate them. In this course, we discuss the modes of threats and attacks on information systems. We also discuss an important area of threat mitigation that saw rapid development in the twentieth century: cryptography. Information security is concerned with user identification and authentication and access control based on individual or group privileges. The basic access control models and the fundamentals of identification and authentication methods are included in this course.

Without networks, our focus would primarily be on controlling unauthorized physical access. Instead, networks are the way we keep data in motion, making information security a more complex task. We discuss methods to design secure networks using firewalls, tunneling, and encryption, and we describe some tools to secure networks such as honeypots, network sniffers, and packet capturing. Operating systems that connect to a network must be hardened to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Methods and tools such as patching, logging, antivirus, and antimalware tools are discussed.

The last topic in this course is global privacy laws. When unauthorized disclosure or a breach of information occurs, there are adverse effects and penalties placed on individuals or organizations depending on the area of jurisdiction. Laws are diverse and vary greatly throughout the world, and we are still trying to develop laws that will protect privacy globally.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of information security, security threats, modes of attack, and cryptographic models. Access control, identification, and authentication are also addressed. Network security and operating system (OS) hardening are explained along with intrusion detection and prevention. The course concludes with global privacy laws.

This course includes the following units:

• Unit 1: Introduction to Information Security
• Unit 2: Threats and Attack Modes
• Unit 3: Cryptographic Models
• Unit 4: Access Control
• Unit 5: Identification and Authentication
  
• Unit 6: Network Security
• Unit 7: Operating System (OS) Security

• Unit 9: Privacy Laws, Penalties, and Privacy Issues

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• explain the fundamental principles of information security;
• identify major information security threats and their modes of attack;

Course Description

This course is “INSTRUCTOR-ASSIST” in addition to the self-paced course to the same title course in saylor.org. The Link to the self-paced course is “BUS206: Management Information Systems” ( https://learn.saylor.org/course/view.php?id=41 ).

Learn about the components of business information systems, with an emphasis on data transmission, management information software, and the ways that businesses manage data.

Course Introduction

Management Information Systems (MIS) is a formal discipline within business education that bridges the gap between computer science and well-known business disciplines such as finance, marketing, and management. In spite of this, most students will only take one or two MIS courses as part of their undergraduate program.

The term “Management Information Systems” has several definitions, depending upon where you look or whom you ask. Common among these many definitions is that MIS represent a collection of technologies, people, and processes that manage the information and communication resources of an organization.

Even if you do not realize it, you use MIS every day. If you use email, you are using MIS, since email is an information system (though you, the user, only see one end of it). If you log into a computer every morning and access or edit data on corporate servers, you are using information systems. In general terms, information systems encompass any interactions between organized data and people. MIS can be the means by which information is transmitted (such as the Internet), the software that displays the information (such as Microsoft Excel), or the systems that manage the data. In this course, you will learn about the components of management information systems and how to leverage them in business.

This course includes the following units:

• Unit 1: Introduction to Management Information Systems
• Unit 2: MIS Basics: Hardware, Software, Networking, and Security
• Unit 3: Data and Databases
• Unit 4: Information Systems and Organization Strategy
• Unit 5: Information Systems Development
• Unit 6: Information Systems in Society and the World

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• describe the use and function of management information systems;
• identify and describe the different roles of people in information systems;
• explain the strategic value of information systems in the organization;
• describe the impact of information systems in the larger context of ethics and globalization; and
• identify trends in information systems that will impact the next generation of business.

Throughout this course, you will also see learning outcomes in each unit. You can use those learning outcomes to help organize your studies and gauge your progress.
