  • Chief Data Officer Certificate Program
    CHIEF DATA OFFICER CERTIFICATE PROGRAM The success of a modern enterprise is increasingly dependent on its ability to maximize value from data and manage large, diverse, and rapidly changing data. Most executives admit that their organizations mismanage their information assets, leading to missed business opportunities and undue expense. To establish a data-driven culture change in an organization, management needs to engage with stakeholders across the enterprise to secure buy-in and ongoing support in treating data as an asset — not data as a byproduct. To cope with these challenges, many organizations are appointing data governance executives, or Chief Data Officers (CDO), whose responsibilities span the recognition of opportunities afforded by new data sources to ensuring compliance with emerging regulations around security, privacy, and bias. The CMU Heinz College Chief Data Officer Certificate Program provides current or future CDOs a thorough understanding of critical data management related responsibilities and the foundations for developing a robust enterprise data governance program. The 13-module CDataO certificate program will cover key areas – data engineering, data science, decision making, emerging technology, change management, CDO operations, communication/influencing/ leadership skills - to help data executives build important data analytical and decision-making capabilities to better support the strategic mission of their organizations. To meet the needs of these busy professionals, the six-month program will be delivered as a hybrid model, blending the benefits of focused in-person sessions at our CMU campus in Pittsburgh, PA with synchronous distance learning. Participants can expect to develop a tight-knit cohort of their peers. Distance teaching allows participants the flexibility to engage at their own pace to develop their skills to become an effective data executive.

    Insider Theft of Intellectual Property for Business Advantage: A Preliminary Model* 1 Insider Theft of Intellectual Property for Business Advantage: A Preliminary Model* Andrew P. Moore [email protected], Dawn M. Cappelli [email protected], Thomas C. Caron1 [email protected], Eric Shaw2 [email protected], Randall F. Trzeciak [email protected] CERT®3 Program, Software Engineering Institute and CyLab at Carnegie Mellon University 4555 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Abstract. A study conducted by the CERT Program at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute analyzed hundreds of insider cyber crimes across U.S. critical infrastructure sectors. Follow-up work involved detailed group modeling and analysis of 35 cases of insider theft of intellectual property. In the context of this paper, insider theft of intellectual property for business advantage includes incidents in which the insider’s primary goal is stealing confidential or proprietary information from the organization with the intent to use it to take to a new job, to get a new job, or to start a business. It does not include cases of in which insiders sell an organization’s information. This paper describes general observations about, and a preliminary system dynamics model of, this class of insider crime based on our empirical data. This work generates empirically-based hypotheses for validation and a basis for identifying mititgative measures in future work. 1 Introduction Since 2002, the CERT Program at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute has been gathering and analyzing actual malicious insider incidents, including IT sabotage, fraud, theft of confidential or proprietary information, espionage, and potential threats to the critical infrastructure of the United * This paper appears in the proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Managing Insider Security Threats (MIST 2009), Purdue University, West Lafayette, 15-19 June 2009.

  • History and Organization Table of Contents
    History and Organization Table of Contents History and Organization Carnegie Mellon University History Carnegie Mellon Colleges, Branch Campuses, and Institute Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley Software Engineering Institute Research Centers and Institutes Accreditations by College and Department Carnegie Mellon University History Introduction The story of Carnegie Mellon University is unique and remarkable. After its founding in 1900 as the Carnegie Technical Schools, serving workers and young men and women of the Pittsburgh area, it became the degree-granting Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912. “Carnegie Tech,” as it was known, merged with the Mellon Institute to become Carnegie Mellon University in 1967. Carnegie Mellon has since soared to national and international leadership in higher education—and it continues to be known for solving real-world problems, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation. The story of the university’s famous founder—Andrew Carnegie—is also remarkable. A self-described “working-boy” with an “intense longing” for books, Andrew Carnegie emigrated from Scotland with his family in 1848 and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He became a self-educated entrepreneur, whose Carnegie Steel Company grew to be the world’s largest producer of steel by the end of the nineteenth century. On November 15, 1900, Andrew Carnegie formally announced: “For many years I have nursed the pleasing thought that I might be the fortunate giver of a Technical Institute to our City, fashioned upon the best models, for I know of no institution which Pittsburgh, as an industrial centre, so much needs.” He concluded with the words “My heart is in the work,” which would become the university’s official motto.
