The widespread use of computers in almost every facet of daily life has led to a proliferation of data, often sensitive, that is collected, stored, processed and used by today\u2019s ubiquitous information systems. This certificate is designed to provide students with the technical and non-technical skills required to support the core information security principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of data throughout its entire life cycle. Students will learn to be responsible data owners and data stewards, both in their personal and professional lives, as they gain experience in using, evaluating and deploying technologies supporting information security strategies with a focus on the technical challenges of handling sensitive data as well as the corresponding social, economic, legal and policy issues. By completing this certificate, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure that data is handled with care and to apply these skills in their respective professional fields. This certificate is intended for a broad population of students.<\/p>\n
