Goals and Objectives

The MS ISM Program is designed to:

  • Provide professional grounding in the eight domains of information security as articulated for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

  • Offer professional grounding in the four domains of information security management as articulated by ISACA (previously known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association): Information Security Governance, Information Risk Management and Compliance, Information Security Program Development and Management and Information Security Incident Management.

  • Deliver grounding in principles of enterprise management: Organizational Behavior and Management of Information Technology.

 

"This program is growing and will only continue to get better as the future unfolds. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have been a part of it from the beginning and to be able to reap the benefits."
