Principles of Information Security presents balance between security management and technical components of security. Focus is on Security Systems Development Life Cycle. Topics include structured methodology as supportive framework to guide students through examination of components of information domain of Information Security Network.  
 
Security+ certification provides knowledge necessary to understand core concepts of the threats to a computing infrastructure. Content includes securing a network infrastructure, understanding encryption technologies; securing communications and applications; and responding to incidents. Students create and maintain a secure network infrastructure. These 2 courses prepare students to take appropriate Network or Information Security certification examinations.  
 
Part-time faculty are hired on a semester-by-semester basis. A reasonable effort is made to assure course assignments to faculty who are fully qualified by virtue of their education, training, work experience as related to current technology and pedagogical techniques, and who have had a history of successful performance at Oakton Community College.  
 
All assignments are conditioned on sufficient enrollment. Once a course starts, the part time faculty member is expected to complete the course.

Requirements:
A bachelor's degree in a technical discipline and at least one year of work experience is required. Prior college teaching experience, additional work experience, and/or a master's degree in a computer-related field are preferred. The candidate must hold MCSA and MCT certifications.

Part-time faculty are paid on a lecture hour equivalents (LHE) basis. For most courses, a LHE is the same as a credit hour. For others, the LHE represents additional work for teaching the class, such as teaching a class with a laboratory section (computers, languages, and the sciences); in those cases, the LHE represents a figure higher than the credit hour. All part-time faculty start at the beginning pay rates, regardless of the level and type of experience obtained elsewhere. Those rates are $842/LHE for those without doctorates and $874/LHE for those with doctorates.
