Combating IS Fraud: A Teaching Case Study

People are becoming more creative in use of classic fraud schemes via information systems. This paper presents a case study resource for teaching information security controls to help combat information systems fraud. The Health First Case Study is designed to give undergraduate computer science, information systems, and information technology students an opportunity to plan security for a doctor’s office, with the guidance of another useful resource, the Small Business Security Workbook. The case study addresses social engineering, ethics, requirements documentation, security design, incident response, and personnel security. Course implementation examples are included for both face-to-face and online courses

Session F1D Network Security: Focus on Security, Skills, and Stability

Abstract- Computer network security is a new and fast moving technology in the field of computer science. As such, the teaching of security is still a moving target. Security courses originally focused on mathematical and algorithmic aspects such as encryption and hashing techniques. However, as crackers hacked away at networks and systems, courses arose that emphasized the latest attacks. These attacks soon became out-of-date with security software responses. As security technology continues to mature, there is an emerging set of security techniques and skills. Network security skills emphasize business practices, legal foundations, attack recognition, security architecture, and network optimization. These skills tend to stabilize network security course(s). This paper summarizes skills relating to network security, and discusses active-learning exercises that assist students in learning these important skills
