Case Studies

In order to provide a broad exposure to information security issues and events, each studentis expected to present one case study to the class during the course of the semester. The case study topics we'll tentatively cover each day are listed below. If you would like to cover a topic not appearing below, feel free to suggest something new and we'll cover it in class.

The topics above are linked to supporting materials, where available. You may need to do additional research to provide enough material to fill your class discussion time. Your talk should be about 10 minutes long and cover the following items:

  • What happened?
  • What is the root cause of the event?
  • What would you have done differently?

Please select a topic by adding a comment to this blog post. First come, first served

    I've edited the schedule to reflect the choices everyone's made so far. Matt - the HBR case will be a group discussion, so I put you down for ChoicePoint.
