CYS 505 Enterprise Security Architecture

Credits: 3 (3-1-0) Prerequisites: CYS504

This course introduces cybersecurity architecture concepts and

practices using organizationwide enterprise architecture as context. The

purpose of a cybersecurity architecture is to ensure that proper levels of

information confidentiality, integrity, and availability are provided for an

organization›s information, data, and related assets. The course will show

how implementation of a cybersecurity architecture can be based on a

Security Architecture Framework that addresses eight key cybersecurity

areas to address enterprise and system-level information sharing and

safeguarding requirements: information security governance, operations

security, personnel security, information and data security, systems security,

application development security, infrastructure security, and physical

security.

CYS 506 Database Security
