Graduate Certificate in Information Security Management

The devastating effects of security breaches are well known and increasingly common. This sense of urgency has spurred the creation of a wide range of new technologies. But technology alone is insufficient to protect networks and information; appropriate technology must be thoughtfully integrated with well-designed policies, practices, processes, and training.

In short supply are professionals who can match this breadth and depth of needs with their own portfolio of technological, operational, leadership, and business process strengths. The Graduate Certificate in Information Security Management is focused on developing those strengths.

The Information Security Management program is designed for professionals who currently hold leadership positions or who are on that trajectory. They may be active information security professionals or may be active in related roles that demand this knowledge. This certificate is career-enhancing for IT and functional managers — as well as CEOs — because of the pervasive impact of security incidents disrupting business operations, competitive intelligence issues, and the prevailing need to remain abreast of developments in privacy, ethics, legal, and regulatory arenas. Students will learn from academically qualified and professionally certified faculty. Johns Hopkins has been recognized as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance by the National Security Agency.
