"How can organizations effectively manage cybercrime risks while ensuring compliance with regulations?

In this fully asynchronous course, students will explore key knowledge, skills, and competencies associated with understanding cybercrime, managing associated risks, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards. You’ll investigate various types of cybercrime, risk management frameworks, and compliance requirements that impact organizational security. Activities will include detailed readings, video lectures on regulatory standards, risk assessment exercises, and discussion boards that facilitate collaborative analysis of compliance challenges and risk management strategies. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify and assess cybercrime risks, implement effective risk management practices, and ensure adherence to cybersecurity regulations and standards.

You will demonstrate your learning by completing a risk and compliance assessment project, where you’ll evaluate an organization’s cybersecurity practices against regulatory requirements and propose measures to address any gaps.

Core course: Those studying toward the online MA in Cybersecurity will need to complete this course in addition to the other seven core courses before enrolling in the 3 track courses and 1 capstone."
