When we look at mission critical industries, we are looking at two, different disciplines (operations technology and information technology) that need to be utilized together by a specialized individual with a unique point-of-view in order to maintain operation and access to critical services. This course examines those two disciplines and puts them in to context with what it means, to both the industry itself and the general population, for an industry to be mission critical. Welcome, once again, to MCO 110.
