Data Security and Governance

The goal of the course is to familiarize the students with basic concepts of data security and governance, their definitions, applications and current advances in the research community and industry. This course addresses data security and privacy issues in legacy systems and also studies data governance. Students will learn the processes and skills required to effectively manage data, whether big or small, traditional or digital. Students will learn about business practices, regulations, public policy, and technologies for both Information security and information privacy. Across a range of market sectors and application domains (such as healthcare, telecom, retail, IoT and financial services), the course will examine different types of threats and attacks , methods to detect data incidents and breaches, and respond to and recover from data incidents and breaches while managing risks and maintaining business continuity. Upon completion of the course a student is expected to understand the concept of privacy including personal private information, potential violations of privacy due to security mechanisms, an overview of the data governance field, and an appreciation of the problems that it addresses and means it uses to solve them.
