And he brings a rare and engaging perspective to help you learn cybersecurity from the ground up. Cybersecurity Risk Management Across Critical Systems lays the groundwork to understand and explore the key issues facing practitioners and policy makers attempting to manage the problem of cybersecurity, from its technical foundations to the domestic and international policy considerations surrounding governance, privacy, and risk management for the resiliency of critical systems, to applications for achieving the goals of an enterprise, an institution, or a nation. This course is designed for students with some or no background in information technology, whether a novice or active in the cybersecurity field (engineers and computer scientists will learn the broader context and business aspects of cybersecurity), and will provide the principles to understand the current debates shaping a rapidly evolving security landscape.
