  • Information Security Manager: Architecture, Planning, and Governance (24 CPE)
    IT Security has become more important than ever for organizations like yours. Your organization needs to be able to protect the vital information resources your company depends on, or it will suffer direct financial consequences of losses due to poor access control and poor data integrity maintenance. Failing to protect your information has also become less of a choice in light of rapidly changing legal compliance requirements for financial institutions, telecommunications companies, insurance organizations, energy companies, and even public utilities. Globally impacting laws, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the U.K. Combined Code, Canada's Multi-Lateral Instrument 52-109, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), are enforcing mandatory information security governance and internal control management. Many other countries around the world are also enacting privacy legislation that radically affects the way your organization can do business in a global marketplace. Failing to prepare properly to comply with the security requirements of many new information security related laws could mean a costly plan of remedy later, or could even potentially limit your organizations ability to continue to compete. 

    The first step towards creating or maintaining such a robust information security governance program is to identify and address the skills/knowledge gap that prohibits your organization from effectively achieving its business goals and objectives.
