Managing organizations' digital assets on their cyber space securely has been recognized as an imperative activity as numerous organizations have moved their activities online and stored their digital assets in their cyber space. Information security analysts help develop and implement security measures to protect organizations' digital assets as well as the computer networks and systems that process these assets. However, staffing many positions in the information security management area with qualified professionals is still a big challenge for many organizations. OU's Graduate Certificate in Information Security Management provides a time and cost effective way for students to acquire practical skills in managing organizations’ digital assets securely in preparation for Information Security Management jobs.
Most courses have a significant project component that is often sponsored by the employer of the student or by one of the local companies with which the SBA has a relationship. Such projects greatly enhance the educational experience and provide a way for employers to not only have a project done for them but also to serve as a way to evaluate potential hires in a field in which it is difficult to find qualified applicants.
