As organizations become more reliant on IT systems to store all kinds of information, facilitate communication among colleagues and customers, and track business-related statistics, information is becoming more precious and its security increasingly crucial and challenging.

In this course, you'll explore standard information security concepts and the security-related roles within an organization. You'll examine where various security-related responsibilities fall throughout the organization and the importance of solid strategic planning and decision-making when implementing proper information security.

You will also investigate the concept of security governance and the activities involved. Finally, you'll delve into the relationship between an organization's overall business objectives and how information security can promote these.

With information security a key concern for organizations, it is important to understand the basic concepts of information security and the security concepts that fall within this topic, such as those within the world of cybersecurity.

In this course, you'll recall information security fundamentals before examining the broad domains within it. You'll then delve into cybersecurity and explore the various approaches to it.

In addition, you'll examine some practical cybersecurity concepts, such as the CIA triad and the security architecture principle. You'll then investigate the actions that expose us to security risks, the roles we play in maintaining or breaching security, and the various security controls that can be implemented to mitigate security-related risks.
