The objective of this course is to explore challenges in procurement, design and operation of IT systems.

Outsourcing strategies and cloud computing promise cost savings and scalable solutions but there are also costs and risks for the organization like loss of human capital and specific knowledge, questions of data protection or security issues just to mentions some aspects which need in depth analysis.

We will also discuss security threats in a business environment from the perspective of a CISO who has to balance business requirements, innovation and security and has to understand possibilities and limitations of technology.
