Training students to steal

Abstract: Practical courses in information security provide students with first-hand knowledge of technical security mechanisms and their weaknesses. However, teaching students only the technical side of information security leads to a generation of students that emphasize digital solutions, but ignore the physical and the social aspects of security. In the last two years we devised a course where students were given a practical assignment which includes a combination of physical security, social engineering and digital… Show more
