Content: This course deals with how to manage information security in practice. Thus, we take an overall perspective on how to govern and guide information security from a manager's perspective. The teaching is mainly case-based which means that scenarios from real-world examples are used as a point of departure for the six major areas we will cover: i) organizational management systems and information security management systems and their relation; ii) how to implement management system based on relevant ISO-standards; iii) how to carry out an information asset classification; iv) how to carry out a risk analysis; v) business management considerations; and vi) how to target a presentation for top management. After completing the course the students will be able to carry out relevant information security assessments. The students will also be able to assess consequences of investments in information security and to communicate this assessment to top management. |
| Teaching Methods: The employeed teaching methods are anchored in flipped classroom and case-based learning. Flipped classroom means focusing on exploring topics in greater depth and creating meaningful learning opportunities in class time, while content delivery is made outside of the classroom. Case-based learning means that scenarios from real-world examples are used to as a point of departure for in class activities and assignments. In this course these theaching methods are implemented through online- and campus lectures, individual readings and seminars where different cases are discussed and analyzed. |
