Overview

The rapidly growing number of security incidents indicates a clear lack of sufficiently trained security experts and professionals. Security education may require a different approach than other disciplines. Unconventional thinking and out-of-the-box methodologies are necessary to prepare graduates with the required skills to protect modern IT systems in public and private sector against off-limits attacks originating from state sponsored actors or technology savvy hackers.

The purpose of this Special Session within the IEEE EDUCON 2017 is to bring together academics, teachers and researchers for discussing and exploring innovative and effective ways in teaching Network and Information Security in higher and continuing education.
