Systems Analysis & Systems Engineering
Leadership, Management and Communication Skills for ISSOs
Strong Information Security requires the following from an organization: additional processes and documentation; more attention to detail; coordination of teams and individuals; increased scrutiny for everyone. People and organizations are inherently resistant to all of the aforementioned. The ISSO plays a key role in ensuring that system security is achieved despite this resistance.
This course addresses the critical leadership, management and communication skills that are essential to achieving success in a critical multi-disciplinary role such as the Federal Government ISSO. Numerous individual and group exercises reinforce the concepts and skills presented in class.
Prerequisites
While there are no specific course pre-requisites, it is recommended that students take this course last in the ISSO Certification Program.
The other courses in the ISSO program cover the key technical, process and compliance KSAs that are essential to the ISSO work role. However, success and organizational impact in the ISSO role also requires strong leadership, management and communication skills.
