Information Security Management Curriculum Design: A Joint Industry and Academic Effort

In this paper the authors present a curriculum design for Information Security Management, which was synthesized using the inputs from both the industry and academia. The top down curriculum design process carried out in Korea starts with the analysis of the job of an Information Security Manager (ISM), identifies the knowledge elements needed for successfully fulfilling the main responsibilities of the job and finally synthesizes them into seven courses suitable for flexible implementation. Additionally, a lateral occupational analysis of ISM reveals the value-skills (soft-skills) that should be considered in the actual implementation of the curriculum

Accommodating Information Security in Our Curricula

When the power of computing and communications technology was unleashed for the benefit of the society, only the good intentions were at heart and not enough attention was paid to the possible illegal and unethical activities in cyberspace. The intrinsic nature of Information Technology (IT) is such that, in today\u27s world, even what is thought to be a simple criminal behavior could cause colossal damage to the society. The need to pay attention to the security issues in IT has been recognized, as evidenced by a major emphasis on security in industry and education. While it may take considerable research and development effort to bring about infrastructures and applications that are fundamentally security-centric, there is need to cope with the prevailing information security problems. Educational institutions, for their part, have responded by initiating security related research and curricula

Metal–Insulator Transitions and Non-Fermi Liquid Behaviors in 5d Perovskite Iridates

Transition metal oxides, in particular, 3d or 4d perovskites, have provided diverse emergent physics that originates from the coupling of various degrees of freedom such as spin, lattice, charge, orbital, and also disorder. 5d perovskites form a distinct class because they have strong spin-orbit coupling that introduces to the system an additional energy scale that is comparable to bandwidth and Coulomb correlation. Consequent new physics includes novel Jeff = 1/2 Mott insulators, metal–insulator transitions, spin liquids, and topological insulators. After highlighting some of the phenomena appearing in the Ruddlesden–Popper iridate series Srn+1IrnO3n+1 (n = 1, 2, and ∞), we focus on the transport properties of perovskite SrIrO3. Using epitaxial thin films on various substrates, we demonstrate that metal–insulator transitions can be induced in perovskite SrIrO3 by reducing its thickness or by imposing compressive strain. The metal–insulator transition driven by thickness reduction is due to disorder, but the metal–insulator transition driven by compressive strain is accompanied by peculiar non-Fermi liquid behaviors, possibly due to the delicate interplay between correlation, disorder, and spin-orbit coupling. We examine various theoretical frameworks to understand the non-Fermi liquid physics and metal–insulator transition that occurs in SrIrO3 and offer the Mott–Anderson–Griffiths scenario as a possible solution
