Information Management
Learn to:
- Apply cyber security concepts and principles in the design of a data model from user requirements
- Demonstrate the implementation of a data model in a relational database, retaining all necessary data associations and appropriately addressing security, scalability, and performance issues.
Why is this important?
Information management is primarily concerned with:
- the capture, digitisation, representation, organisation, transformation, and presentation of information
- algorithms for efficient and effective access and updating of stored information
- data modelling and abstraction
- and physical file storage techniques
Cyber security has to be embedded within information management.
