| Content: A business's information is one of its most important assets. While the technical and regulatory aspects of information security are important, it is acknowledged that considering these are not enough. The course addresses social aspects that have an impact on employees' information security behaviour, such as motivation, values, culture, and neutralisation. Also, the course includes methods and tools, such as awareness and audit programmes, which can be used to change employees' information security behaviour. During the course students will work on identifying potential reasons behind employees' information security behaviour and suggest suitable ways for changing these behaviors. |

Teaching Methods: The employeed teaching methods are anchored in flipped classroom and case-based learning. Flipped classroom means focusing on exploring topics in greater depth and creating meaningful learning opportunities in class time, while content delivery is made outside of the classroom. Case-based learning means that scenarios from real-world examples are used to as a point of departure for in class activities and assignments. In this course these theaching methods are implemented through online lectures, individual readings, in-class activities based on cases, and group assignments based on cases. |
