Increasing students security awareness: article II. What C.S. graduates don`t learn about security concepts and ethical standards

摘要

Students think that security is crime prevention, someone else's business. In fact, security is error prevention and is everybody's business.

At government and industrial conferences employers complain that C.S. and C.I.S. graduates

1) don't see security as a significant factor in getting their jobs done, and

2) don't have a clear conception of what constitutes ethical professional behavior.

This article, demonstrates ways to integrate into existing courses activities that promote students' awareness of professional responsibilities to protect the integrity of the systems and data they work with, and of accepted professional ethical standards.
