Using Soft Systems Methodology to Facilitate the Development of a Computer Security Teaching Module
John Biggam, Alan Hogarth · 2001
Computer security issues are now commonplace in the business community. Incidents such as computer viruses, Web vandalism, computer theft, etc. are regularly highlighted by the media. Indeed, the drive towards E-Business has raised the profile of security incidents. Many stakeholders play an important part in counteracting these security breaches, including law enforcement, the business community, hardware and software vendors, and researchers. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of universities in the battle against computer security breaches and to show, through a case study, how one university used the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) to develop a computer security module for its undergraduate students.
