Content
In the age of digitalization, information security is more important than ever. A key layer for ensuring information security is the employees, who need to be aware of possible information security risks and behave accordingly. Organizations introduce information security policies to establish required rules for information security behavior and implement information security awareness programs, which are systematically planned campaigns. The course provides a comprehensive overview of information security from the management perspective. The focus is on how to design measures such as awareness programs to protect organizations’ data and keep it safe from cybercrime. The content is divided into three main sections. First, addressing actual information security risks, students will get an overview of the managerial perspective of information security and associated problems in organizations. Second, the course provides a deep dive into design thinking for solving problems of employee misbehavior and fostering an active risk culture. Third, the course addresses learned techniques for organizations. Students chose an organization and apply design thinking to develop information security awareness programs and mitigate information security risks. In the lectures, we will: · apply design thinking methods to create information security awareness programs, · identify organizational challenges in designing information security methods, · measure information risks and information security awareness (e.g. KPIs), · discuss leaderships’ influence on risk and security behavior, · structure a bundle of measures to create a proactive risk culture, · evaluate emerging technologies trends such as AI, Blockchain technology and IoT enable opportunities for Risk and Information Security Management. In sum, the course introduces a holistic approach to designing solutions for organizations regarding information security risks.
