Teaching cases based on stories about real organizations are a powerful means of storytelling. These cases closely parallel real-world situations and can deliver on pedagogical objectives as writers can use their creative license to craft a storyline that better focuses on the specific principles, concepts, and challenges they want to address in their teaching. The method instigates critical discussion, draws out relevant experiences from students, encourages questioning of accepted practices, and creates dialogue between theory and practice. We present Horizon, a case study of a firm that suffers a catastrophic incident of Intellectual Property (IP) theft. The case study was developed to teach information security management (ISM) principles in key areas such as strategy, risk, policy and training to postgraduate Information Systems and Information Technology students at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Case-based learning is a powerful pedagogical method of creating dialogue between theory and practice. CBL is particularly suited to executive learning as it instigates critical discussion and draws out relevant experiences. In this paper we used a real-world case to teach Information Security Management to students in Management Information Systems. The real-world case is described in a legal indictment, T-mobile USA Inc v Huawei Device USA Inc. and Huawei Technologies Co. LTD, alleging theft of intellectual property and breaches of contract concerning confidentiality and disclosure of sensitive information. The incident scenario is interesting as it relates to a business asset that has both digital and physical components that has been compromised through an unconventional cyber-physical attack facilitated by insiders. The scenario sparked an interesting debate among students about the scope and definition of security incidents, the role and structure of the security unit, the utility of compliance-based approaches to security, and the inadequate use of threat intelligence in modern security strategies.
In this short paper we argue that to combat APTs, organizations need a strategic level shift away from a traditional prevention centered approach to that of a response centered one. Drawing on the information warfare (IW) paradigm in military studies, and using Dynamic Capability Theory (DCT), this research examines the applicability of IW capabilities in the corporate domain. We propose a research framework to argue that conventional prevention centred response capabilities; such as incident response capabilities and IW centred security capabilities can be integrated into IW enabled dynamic response capabilities that improve enterprise security performance.
Adversarial attacks for machine learning models have become a highly studied topic both in academia and industry. These attacks, along with traditional security threats, can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizations assets that are dependent on the usage of machine learning models. While it is not easy to predict the types of new attacks that might be developed over time, it is possible to evaluate the risks connected to using machine learning models and design measures that help in minimizing these risks. In this paper, we outline a novel framework to guide the risk management process for organizations reliant on machine learning models. First, we define sets of evaluation factors (EFs) in the data domain, model domain, and security controls domain. We develop a method that takes the asset and task importance, sets the weights of EFs contribution to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and based on implementation scores of EFs, it determines the overall security state in the organization. Based on this information, it is possible to identify weak links in the implemented security measures and find out which measures might be missing completely. We believe our framework can help in addressing the security issues related to usage of machine learning models in organizations and guide them in focusing on the adequate security measures to protect their assets.
Gamification and Serious Games are progressively being used over a host of fields, particularly to support education. Such games provide a new way to engage students with content and can complement more traditional approaches to learning. This article proposes SherLOCKED, a new serious game created in the style of a 2D top-down puzzle adventure. The game is situated in the context of an undergraduate cyber security course, and is used to consolidate students knowledge of foundational security concepts (e.g. the CIA triad, security threats and attacks and risk management). SherLOCKED was built based on a review of existing serious games and a study of common gamification principles. It was subsequently implemented within an undergraduate course, and evaluated with 112 students. We found the game to be an effective, attractive and fun solution for allowing further engagement with content that students were introduced to during lectures. This research lends additional evidence to the use of serious games in supporting learning about cyber security.
Cloud computing has pervaded through every aspect of Information technology in past decade. It has become easier to process plethora of data, generated by various devices in real time, with the advent of cloud networks. The privacy of users data is maintained by data centers around the world and hence it has become feasible to operate on that data from lightweight portable devices. But with ease of processing comes the security aspect of the data. One such security aspect is secure file transfer either internally within cloud or externally from one cloud network to another. File management is central to cloud computing and it is paramount to address the security concerns which arise out of it. This survey paper aims to elucidate the various protocols which can be used for secure file transfer and analyze the ramifications of using each protocol.
