Lassi Riihelä · LUTPub (LUT University) · 2019
In this research a systematic mapping study is presented that investigates how the teaching of information security has been studied by the academia, identifying recommendations and guidelines. Four categories were identified from the articles: laboratory environments, teaching specific topics, how to teach information security, and course descriptions and teaching experiences. According to research, Information security is recommended to be taught using virtualized laboratory environments, utilizing the offensive approach, and it should be spread across the computer science curriculum. A suggestion is presented on how to take the recommendations and guidelines into account at LUT University’s computer science education.
