Message from the Coordinator

Information and data security management involves the protection of an organization's information and data assets from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, and disruption. It encompasses a set of processes, policies, technologies, and measures designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and data.

The Key components of information and data security management include:

·       Risk Assessment

·       Policies and Procedures

·       Access Control

·       Encryption

·       Security Awareness

·       Incident Response

·       Monitoring and Audit

·       Physical Security

·       Compliance

·       Technologies & trends

We will try to cover some important Information and data security management dimensions as mentioned in the brochure’s “course topics” and will also involve some industry professionals in this learning initiative. Effective information and data security management require a holistic approach that combines people, processes, and technology to mitigate risks and safeguard sensitive information in an ever-evolving threat landscape.

We wish you joining and benefiting from the course.
