Bolles was a founding member EDITORIAL ASSOCIATE of IRE, and his murder by a car bomb in 1976 led to the Arizona Project, in which a team of Kate Rainey IRE members from across the country continued and expanded his investigation into public corruption and organized crime.

    SRA111: Introduction to Security and Risk Analysis Course Description SRA 111 is an introductory course with a broad focus, spanning primarily the areas of security, risk, and risk analysis. In addition to familiarizing the student with basic security terminology, it will also touch upon social and legal issues, risk analysis and mitigation, crime intelligence and forensics, and information warfare and assurance. This course will motivate students to understand the requirements for security in any government agency or business organization through the use of case studies. Included in this segment are cases related to cyberterrorism, bioterrorism, and critical infrastructure protection. Some concepts to be covered in the area of information security are: confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non- repudiation. Various methods of safeguarding these security concerns will be discussed, such as: single- and multi-factor authentication, encryption, digital signatures, prevention of denial of service attacks, and so forth. This course also covers social and legal issues related to security, in particular identity theft and social engineering. Topics in this section include identity theft, spam, spyware, and adware. This course also covers the basic principles and the approaches to risk analysis. Here students study vulnerability analysis, crime and intelligence analysis, forensics, techniques for risk assessment and risk mitigation. The course will prepare students for more in-depth courses such as SRA 211, SRA 221 and SRA 311. This course will incorporate collaborative and action-learning experiences wherever appropriate.
