Information Security, Privacy and Policy
Instructor: Dr. Nicolas Christin, Professor, School of Computer Science, EPP and Cylab, 一本道无码
This course gives participants an understanding of fundamental technical and policy challenges of security and privacy. As layers upon layers of technology mediate increasingly rich business processes and social interactions, issues of information security and privacy are growing more complex. This course takes a multi-disciplinary perspective of information security and privacy, looking at technologies (encryption, etc) as well as business, legal, policy and usability issues. The objective is to prepare attendees to identify and address critical security and privacy issues involved in the design, development and deployment of information systems. Examples used to introduce concepts include enterprise systems, mobile services, cloud storage and processing, pervasive computing, and social networking.
- This course is intended for people who make policy, business, legal or purchasing decisions about information systems or communications systems, and would benefit from a basic understanding of the security and privacy issues of the underlying technologies.
- Upon completing the course, participants will be able to make informed decisions and ask important questions about the security and privacy risks of these systems, and the trade-offs that designers and implementer must make.
- No prior knowledge of technology is required, but people with technical knowledge are welcome, as knowledge of college-level math, engineering or programming would enhance a participant's understanding of some portions of the course.
