But, with a solid plan of approach to IT security you can be on your best defense for your dollar. The goal of this class to increase your peace of mind by making you aware of current IT security problems, how to plan for those problems, inform you of resources for implementing your plan, and what to do should there be a compromise in the implementation of your plan.
