Asset Security
Companies must protect their assets. Just as locks go on the doors to protect physical
assets, electronic and data assets must also be guarded. Asset security involves the
full support of everyone in an organization, from corporate-level personnel down to
front line employees. Various security controls will be described that help protect
privacy, along with data leakage prevention (DLP). Although it is not necessary, having
some foundation in IT concepts is helpful in taking this course.
