This class explores the overarching security architectures and vectors of information assurance from a management perspective. The course will provide a basic understanding of all aspects involving IA management, needs analysis, risk assessments, policy formulation, security planning, and integrating technologies. Students will gain an appreciation for systems, networks, processes, methodologies, documentation requirements, recovery processes, certification and accreditation processes as well as "best practice" implementation, training and continuous improvement. Discussions in this course will give the correct acumen of personnel security, physical security, and technical operational security as these principles relate and interface with information security principles. Defense-in-depth principles will also be covered for designing proper physical security programs. Prerequisites: IAE 685. IAE 682 recommended. (3)
