Abstract

Security informatics will represent a paradigmatic shift in college and university curricula in computer science, software engineering, information systems and science, networking and telecommunications, Internet technologies and related disciplines – the disciplines that might be assumed under the broad umbrella of ”information technology” – though most programs have not yet understood the import or implemented the systemic change. Faculty have experienced much technology change over the short history of computing and are much more frequently introducing change into courses and programs than their colleagues in other disciplines. The need for security in information applications in virtually every discipline will generate robust interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary opportunities for informatics (as different from information technology) programs.
