Introduction
Protective Security relates to security governance (including supporting a positive security culture), information security (including cyber security), personnel security (including employees and contractors) and physical security (providing a safe and secure physical environment for an organisation’s people, information and assets).
This unit provides you with a thorough understanding of the concepts and practical applications of Protective Security. You will gain an appreciation of the issues and elements that underlie the practice of Protective Security and draw upon theoretical concepts, real life case studies and relevant standards. This unit will provide you with the knowledge and skills to translate theoretical concepts in Protective Security into tangible outputs for industry. This Protective Security unit provides you with an understanding and the requisite skills that will be interrelated with other units should you proceed further with your postgraduate studies in organisational resilience.
