These and other IT and information security issues are covered in the forthcoming Security Management Stage 1, 31 March - 11 April 2008, a university-accredited course, which can be attended as a "stand-alone" course, or taken as the first of six elements making up the MSc Work-Based Learning Studies (Corporate Security Management).
For those who have attended Security Management Stage 1 (or equivalent) the next Security Management Stage 2 takes place in Kuala Lumpur, 18 - 29 February 2008.
