MAN 5166 Digital sikkerhet for ledere
This Master of Management course (15 ECTS), is designed to be a part in a 90 ESCTS Executive Master of Management degree specializing in Security management and Cultural Understanding.
Digitalization is among the highest political priorities in many countries. In Norway digitalization is seen as part of the strategy to overcome the challenges of the wide geographic distribution of the population, and enable equal services throughout the country. The political push towards digitalization for citizens, businesses and public services must be accompanied with precautions and strategies to create resilience against threats and attacks in cyberspace. Resilience means to protect your system, detect malware at the earliest possible occasion, and respond to incidents so that normal operation can be continued as soon as possible after a breach. In short, follow the principle “Protect, Detect and Respond”.
A high degree of resilience can be achieved via aware decision makers, deep and sound risk analysis, and teams which can balance the trade-off between vulnerability and overprotection. Moreover, the professional management and implementation of organizational and technical innovations in the context of cyber security involves managing across multiple stakeholders and networks. In short, cyber security leaders need to support such strategies and balancing processes, while consulting society and decision makers as part of the endeavor.

Nine teaching days in three 3-day modules, amounting to 72 hours. The students must expect to use at least 400 study hours, which is the norm for 15 ECTS.
Lectures will consist of a combination of lectures, group work and discussions, where theory and the wide set of experience among students will form a valuable basis for interactions.
Between sessions, students are expected to work actively in groups with a change project related to their own organization, or perhaps in the relationships between organizations. This will be documented and discussed in relation to the curriculum, in a final report (project paper).
The students are evaluated through a term paper, counting 60% of the total grade and a 48 hours individual home exam counting 40%. The term paper may be written individually or in groups of maximum three persons.. We recommend starting the work on the term paper early to supplement classroom learning. The term paper should be 15-20 pages
In all BI Executive courses and programs, there is a mutual requirement for the student and the course responsible regarding the involvement of the student's experience in the planning and implementation of courses, modules and programmes. This means that the student has the right and duty to get involved with their own knowledge and practice relevance, through the active sharing of their relevant experience and knowledge.
