Information Systems Security
The Internet and the complex network of computers it connects gives consumers, retailers, and wholesalers real time information that has dramatically increased the speed at which the world does business. Along with this speed and convenience has come a whole new set of concerns about the security of the information being exchanged. Viruses, hackers, identity thieves and terrorists are just a few of the main concerns for professional network managers. Creating and implementing defense measures to secure information on the Internet and in networks is one of the most important objectives in the new e-commerce marketplace.
The online degree in Information System Security focuses on learning how to recognize security concerns, and how to create firewalls and other defense mechanisms to protect a network. Students can learn network security policy and network management principles, as well as fundamental management skills essential to any company that utilizes technology. Graduates may be ready for ground floor administrative positions in Information systems, firewall management, and network server management.
