Master the principles and practices of auditing information asset protection and security controls. Understand how to evaluate security objectives, technical safeguards, and data governance to ensure comprehensive asset protection. This course focuses on the audit of information asset protection, covering confidentiality, integrity, and availability objectives. Learners will examine core security concepts, vulnerability and threat assessment, and the evaluation of technical and organizational controls such as authentication, encryption, network security, and endpoint protection.
