MIS 448 examines practices associated with assuring secure business operations in organizations. Assuring secure operations involves the creation, operation, defense, analysis, and testing of secure computer systems. Hence secure computing is an interdisciplinary area including aspects of computing, law, policy, human factors, ethics, and risk management. The proposed competencies cover these areas, but with an IS discipline lens. This includes data security, software security, human security, societal security, and organization security.
