Abstract

Data and Information Security (DIS) provides confidence to senior management that the operational systems are secure, and offers challenges to hackers to break the security of operational systems. The more the threats and attacks, the more security patches or plug-in solutions are required to make existing systems secure. It is observed that industry and Government sectors manage their security related issues by spending huge cost for hiring security professionals, conducting training program to train own employees or consulting a security firm for security solution. It is also time that academic institutions seed security expertise, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, in order to fulfill the increasing in demand. This paper proposes structures of DIS programs for bachelor and master degrees.
