Abstract

There is a strong need for information security education, which stems from the pervasiveness of information technology in business and society. Both government departments and private industries depend on information systems, as information systems are widespread across all business functions. Disruption of critical operational information systems can have serious financial impacts. According to a CSI/FBI report (2004), losses from security breaches have risen rapidly in recent years and exceeded $200 million in 2003. The information security field is very diverse and combines disciplines such as computer science, business, information science, engineering, education, psychology, criminal justice, public administration, law, and accounting. The broad interdisciplinary nature of information security requires several specialists to collaboratively teach the curriculum and integrate different perspectives and teaching styles into a cohesivedelivery. This chapter presents a pedagogical model based on a “teaching hospital” concept that addresses the issues introduced above. By using a specific information-risk-analysis case, the chapter highlights the basic concept of the teaching hospital and its application in teaching and learning contexts.
