Course Syllabus

BADM 590-MS11 / BADM 395-MS12 Trustworthy Computing: Information Security and Management

Meet Time: 3- 5:50 pm Thursdays, Spring Semester 2006 Instructor: Prof. Mike Shaw, Dept. Business Administration, College of Business Classroom: 130 Wohlers Hall 4 Credit Hours or 3 Graduate Credit Units

Course Overview This is a new course partly sponsored by a grant from Microsoft. As Information Technology (IT) has become the foundation that supports the infrastructure, transactions, processes, and customer service of any business large or small, so has managing the trustworthiness of enterprise IT effectively emerged as a high priority for business administration. This focus on trustworthy computing is analogous to total quality management widely used in manufacturing and distribution a decade ago, except that the impact is potentially more pronounced because of the greater reliance on IT not only by businesses but also by the broader society. The course will provide students with a core body of knowledge-- for IT applications, management, and research-- concerning:  The state of research and business practice of trustworthy computing  Managerial issues for the prevention of business frauds and threats  The multiple perspectives of trustworthy computing and how to integrate them  The key technology for trustworthy computing for users and for businesses  Issues concerning integrity, privacy, ethics, risk management, and reliability  Best practices concerning regulatory compliance requirements  Enterprise information management issues, policies and practices

Who Should Take the Course This course is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a professional career in research, applications, or management-- in the business administration or information technology fields-- with additional skills and knowledge to manage information security, risk assessment, privacy, and recent regulatory compliance requirements. Since no prior technical background is needed, this course is also suitable for students not in the IT career path but just want to know more about business issues concerning information security, privacy management, and compliance practices. The course format will be such that students are allowed to explore their professional interest by selecting their projects and interacting with executive speakers. Students from various programs will bring their varying disciplinary perspectives to the class. This diverse approach to course delivery can create valuable synergy by integrating the various perspectives to broaden the

1 CN-44226 2 CN-45357 outlook of all of the students. The topics to be covered will follow the following structure:

Project Description

Students are required to complete a report focused on a selected topic. There will be flexibility in the focus in terms of the disciplinary coverage (e.g., technical vs.

8 managerial) and also the orientation (e.g., application vs. research). Since the underlying vision of the course content is about integrating technical and managerial perspectives, there will be room for diverse approaches for you to take in this project.

You can choose your project from the list of the topics to be discussed in this course:

1. Business Risk Management

2. Vulnerability Management and Assessment

3. Critical Infrastructure

4. Information Trust and Compliance Issues (SOX)

5. Dependable & Trustworthy Enterprises Systems

6. Enterprise Information Security Policy

7. Trustworthy Systems Development

8. Technology & Auditing Systems: Hardware and Software Defenses

9. Privacy Issues

10. Trustworthy supply chains in multinationals

11. Crisis Management and Emergency Response

12. HIPAA

Each report should cover both the technical and business perspectives although there can be a greater emphasis on one of the perspectives. One component of the report is a summary of the related guest lecture(s), which will require adding sufficient background information either by literature research or by collecting additional information from the speaker giving the presentation.

Students from various degree programs may choose different types of individual projects. There are three basic types from which you can choose to do:

1. An academic research project. 2. An application project. 3. A survey of the state-of-the-art methodology, practices, and trends.

Students can focus on projects concerning a research topic, a real-world application, or the state of development of a given area. Examples include developing a risk metric, a

9 model for assessing the vulnerability of an enterprise, the risk analysis of an e-commerce site, enhancing the trustworthiness of the supply-chain of a multinational companies, or evaluating the maturity of the security readiness of a business. It is possible that several students can work on related problems with different but complementary focuses.
