The integration of computer security into existing Computer Science undergraduate education is an urgent and complicated task. With the increasing risk of computer intrusion, computer crimes and information wars, Computer Science educators bear the responsibility of cultivating a new generation of graduates who are aware of computer security related issues and are equipped with proper knowledge and skills to solve the problems. The task of integrating computer security into existing Computer Science programs, however, is complicated due to the fact that most faculty members lack the specialty knowledge in this field. This paper begins with a survey of the computer security field by examining the sequence of actions that the US government has taken since 1987 to counter the computer security issues, followed by an assessment of needs for practitioners in the field. A comprehensive approach of integrating computer security into an existing degree program is then proposed. The paper concludes with observations upon what should be taught and how computer security could be integrated into undergraduate education.
