Call for Papers - Special Issue on Information Security Management Education
The Journal of Information System Education (JISE) seeks papers for a special issue on Information Security Management Education to appear in October 2002. Guest editors are Ken Surendran, Department of Computer Science, Southeast Missouri State University and Ki-Yoon Kim, Department of Business Administration, Kwangwoon University, Korea.
Information Security is receiving considerable attention with the rise in the threat for cyber attacks. In the past, security was, by and large, treated as an add-on rather than a basic design requirement. The trend is changing and many organizations employ Information Security Managers (ISM) to ensure all aspects of security in all stages of information handling. Recognizing Information Security Management as an occupation has resulted in training institutions offering specialized courses in this area. In response to meeting the demand for qualified ISMs, academic institutions have started offering courses and curricula in Information Security Management. The issue will present an international perspective on the status of Information Security Education.
We solicit original papers on Information Security Management Education appropriate to JISEs readership. Emphasis is placed on development and implementation of ISM curricula as well as integration of security in existing Information System curricula. Primary emphasis will be given for papers that describe specific education programs - both academic and non-university - and experiences with those programs.
Topics for this special issue on Information Security Management Education (ISME) include: Formal development of ISME curricula Incorporation of skill sets - both technical and social - in the curricula Experience reports from the field Integration of security issues in other courses Balancing theory and practice in ISME curricula Training for the workplace (applied risk analysis and management; control procedures) Requirements for Information Security Management as an Occupation Collaborative programs involving industry and academia addressing ISME
Paper submission deadline is May 1, 2002. Send an electronic submission to Ken Surendran at ksurendran@semo.edu, or Ki-Yoon Kim at min1203@daisy.kwangwoon.ac.kr.
