Course Overview
A control on financial data centre security that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Security arrangements around centre security are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the corporate security practice discipline and revise it on evidence. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for financial data centre security, not for observers of it. Participants test their assumptions about this aspect of corporate security practice against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Progress on centre security is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in financial data centre security, not around theory headings. The most reliable predictor of sound centre security is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
