This survey course enables leaders to define and determine business risk related to cybersecurity in a multi-dimensional environment. Students are exposed to complex analysis and decision-making with consideration of converged catalysts (e.g., cyber, physical, informational) impacting operations. They will gain an appreciation for a standard taxonomy and introduced to methods to calculate risk. The course is based on Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) but does not purport to cover FAIR in its entirety.
