As enterprises become increasingly reliant on electronic media and communication, the protection of data and electronic infrastructure becomes critically important. Incidences of security failures in commercial and noncommercial environments are increasing in number and severity. Hence, it is essential that enterprises continually develop and refine security strategies that reflect the changing uses of information technology. The development of this strategy becomes even more important and challenging as organizations become participants in the global economy.

This course is a survey of topics in the realm of computer security in a global environment. It will consider many contemporary topics in computer security ranging from basic cryptology to cyber-warfare to security ethics to legal and cultural differences between countries. The course will culminate in a research project which provides each student with an opportunity to more fully investigate a topic of interest related to the area of security.
