About this Unit
Modern organisations (both large and small) are heavily dependent on their e-business systems to complete the necessary operational tasks that must be completed each working day. Indeed many e-business systems operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Growing interconnections between different networks mean that organization risk, either in system downtime or loss of assets, is increasing. Therefore managing effectively e-business security becomes very important. Organisations need to be prepared in event of an attack on their e-business systems, or in the event of a disaster to minimise the damage sustained and to return to an operational state in the minimum amount of time. This unit aims to give students an understanding of the threats to e-business security and to develop a range of skills and techniques that can be applied, within a management context, to mitigate this risk to the organisation.
