摘要:As attacks on computer security continue to increase it is important that security awareness, education, and training be used as an important defense, and increasingly colleges are being looked upon to provide this instruction. Yet an examination of higher education regional accrediting bodies and accrediting agencies for colleges of business indicate that there are no specific requirements that current security topics be taught in the curriculum. A random sample of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredited schools shows that fewer than half teach any computer security topics to college of business students. This is despite the fact that a survey of students indicates that they are indeed concerned about security; however, these concerns are not being met. The results of this study can be used by faculty and administrators to work towards creating standards and improving computer literacy courses where computer security is not being taught.
