The goal of this course is to provide students of Information Security with a more advanced understanding of the background, terminology, and concepts of Information Security.  This will prepare students to engage in deeper study of Information Security and to apply what they have learned in business and technical contexts.

 

This course will focus heavily on outcomes demonstrating the ability to use knowledge gained in an introductory course, such as developing security requirements from business use-cases, comparing security requirements against implementation reality, and conducting post-incident reviews.

Course material will be drawn from real world events such as Stuxnet, SONY Pictures, Target, and EquiFax; emerging information technologies such as Social Media, Cloud Computing, Big Data and the Internet of Things; and perennial concerns such as privacy, public safety and business considerations.
