Information Security

On one of the social networking sites that I belong to, one of the more common questions asked is "What is the best anti-virus software?". I have no doubt that this is a popular question because anyone that uses the internet for anything is concerned with what extras they may pick up along the way, especially a virus that can destroy their computer. I've been hacked before and I can tell you, honestly, it is not a fun thing to have happen. There is nothing sadder about using a computer than having someone, somewhere, destroy your hard drive.
If you think that having your personal computer hacked into is bad, what about your business? Think of all the information a business keeps track of in regards to their customers, names, addresses, credit card information. How awful that would be to turn that information unknowingly over to a stranger who could then use that information to literally help himself to goods and services without paying for anything themselves. This is why companies and government agencies rely on IT tech people that are savvy and smart in the ways of hackers and other malicious people in order to protect them from the growing risks and threats to IT functionality, integrity and data privacy they face on a daily basis.If you, or someone that you know, is interested in learning more about these things, then read on my friend, read on!
The Lewis University Online Master of Science in Information Security offers
masters information security degrees in two concentrations, Managerial and Technical.
The Managerial Concentration focuses on the impact of information security
on individual lives and personal privacy, the growing information security
risks facing business and government, strategies for securing information, and the
influence of laws and public policy on how information is secured. It is ideal for IT
analysts, managers, and directors who must define, audit, and examine IT security
policies and procedures.
The Technical Concentration examines how information systems can be
made more secure. It covers information processing systems, secure operating
systems and applications, network security, cryptography, security protocols, and
other issues that confront those charged with securing information networks. The
curriculum includes hands-on training in the identification of security breaches, the
implementation of security policies and procedures, and the resolution of security
problems.
