Objectives: Information Security Management is the study of identification of an organization's assets
(including people, buildings, machines, systems and information assets), followed by the development,
documentation, and implementation of policies and procedures for protecting these assets.
Expected Learning Outcomes

to mitigate adverse impacts on achieving objectives.
2) Students will be able to provide a basic level of security, independent of external requirements so that
they can maintain the uninterrupted operation of the IT organisation.
3) It will make learners aware of key management which is the process of administering or managing
cryptographic keys for a cryptosystem.
4) It will make learners aware of the risks or threats to the success of the plan and test the controls in
place to determine whether or not those risks are acceptable.
5) Students will know the basic process of identifying, preserving, analyzing and presenting the digital
evidence in such a manner that the evidences are legally acceptable
