Background of the Course
Information is one of the key assets of any organization. Vulnerable ICT infrastructure poses a risk to organization

Security and the best practices in planning, implementing, managing and protecting organization information assets. It
will also provide IT managers and key decision makers with a comprehensive understanding of Information Security
