Abstract

Determining modern curriculum content and industrially relevant research agendas are two issues that every academic in any field - and any country $can identify with. Curriculum issues are particularly relevant in information and communication technology (ICT) security because relevant topics and technologies change from year to year. In a world of rootkits, 0-day exploits, Trojans, viruses, and the ubiquitous inside attacker, it´s difficult to plan course content that will remain topical, helping graduates to both understand fundamental concepts and be immediately beneficial to their employers
