Course ID 054347 ISYS3442: Fundamentals of Cyber Security

Course Description

Developing cyber security resilience and the capability to manage security incidents is an increasingly urgent challenge for organisations operating in global digital environments.

This course explores current practices in cyber security resilience as a component of organisational management. You will develop insights and strategies to align cyber security management with organisational needs: assessing organisational cyber security maturity, incident management approaches, and crisis communication. You will also develop a strategic approach to the development of a security culture and awareness in an organisation, in the use of asset, resource and records management, roles and responsibilities for organisational cyber resilience (e.g. response), cyber security audits, and business continuity process and planning.

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

.

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:

1. Critically analyse organisational cyber security maturity in relation to cyber resilience and incident management.
2. Analyse asset and resource management practices to develop business continuity process and planning approaches.
3. Formulate strategic advice to promote and nurture a security culture and awareness in an organisation.
4. Develop an incident management response policy and plan.

Overview of Learning Activities

This online course uses highly structured learning activities to guide your learning process and prepare you for your assessments. The activities are a combination of individual, peer-supported and facilitator-guided activities, and where possible project- led, with opportunities for feedback throughout.

Authentic and industry-relevant learning is critical to this course and you will be encouraged to critically compare and contrast what is happening in your context and in industry, and to use your insights.

Social learning is another important component and you are expected to participate in class and group activities, share drafts of work and resources and give and receive peer feedback. You will be expected to work efficiently and effectively with others to achieve outcomes greater than those that you might have achieved alone.

The learning activities enable you to understand course learning resources and apply that learning to improve your own practice, for example by producing real-world artefacts and engaging in scenarios and case studies.

Overview of Learning Resources

Each learning activity contains the core resources, such as videos, podcasts, readings, templates, articles, industry tools and/or communities that you need to complete that activity, or links to those resources.

Additional learning resources designed into the course, will be clearly marked as supplemental. If your course teaching team finds additional resources during course delivery which they think can support or be of interest to the class cohort, these will be made available as required during the teaching period.

In your class environment, besides your learning activities you will also find:

• All assessment briefs.
• A course information page with a study schedule.
• Various communication tools to facilitate collaboration with your peers and facilitators, and to share information.

Learning Resources are also available online through RMITLibrary databases, subject guides, and other facilities.

Assistance with referencing, study support, finding computers and study spaces is available at the RMIT library Study website. If you require assistance with the RMIT library facilities contact Ask the Library.
