Write a 3-5-page paper that examines research on security program management and provides a critical analysis of that research.

By focusing on the topic of security program management, this assignment is designed to help you explore and critically analyze research literature that will support your course project. Three citations of scholarly and relevant practitioner literature per page is a recommended guideline to adequately support your writing. Use the feedback you receive on this assignment to guide your work on your course project.

Apply online resource tools to research existing scholarly and relevant practitioner literature. In your critical analysis, address the following issues:

• Compare literature in security program management to examine what is meant by security program management from theoretical and practitioner perspectives. Provide examples.
• Compare literature in information security governance and security program management to examine their relationship, similarities, and differences. Consider their approaches, policies, strategic effect, and objectives in your analysis.
• Examine the literature to determine the strategic effect of security program management research on the planning and administration of both business projects and objectives-in particular, monitoring and implementing security controls.

Take this opportunity to demonstrate your ability to analyze literature that may be used for your final project. As required in the final project, this assignment also gives you an opportunity to demonstrate a level of academic writing, critical thinking, and research skills appropriate for doctoral writing.

Specifically, citations and references are expected to be formatted according to APA style and formatting guidelines. Read the Security Program Management Scoring Guide to ensure you have met all of the requirements of this assignment.
