According to Gartner: "Security governance is a process for overseeing the cybersecurity teams who are responsible for mitigating business risks. Security governance leaders make the decisions that allow risks to be prioritized so that security efforts are focused on business priorities rather than their own." In this course, you will further define security governance and types of governance structures. Then you will discover security governance roles and responsibilities, such as owners, stewards, and officers, and external governance considerations. Next, you will explore guidance, best practices, standards, and policies like the software development life cycle (SDLC) and change management. Finally, you will investigate security governance procedures, including playbooks, monitoring, and revision. This course is part of a series that prepares you for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam.
