Overview
Information Technology Security (ITSec) protects internal systems, a discipline distinct from broader cybersecurity. Led by Dean Bushmiller, this course clarifies essential concepts using definitions from NIST and AJP. Viewers learn to preserve system availability, integrity, and confidentiality while defending against unauthorized access, data modification, and denial of service.
The course provides actionable guidance on implementing effective ITSec frameworks. You will discover how to establish security objectives, secure management support, manage risks, and apply robust architecture principles. By evaluating hardware, software, access controls, and personnel constraints, you will learn to design a comprehensive posture that maintains an acceptable level of risk.
