This index page provides links to pages within this web site that support the Information Security and Incident Response course (ACCT 565, Spring 2007) that I teach in the Master of Professional Accountancy program at Central Washington University. Those pages contain links to online resources that are relevant to the course and are organized by the course outline and the conceptual infrastructure used to design the course:

1. Information Systems- the source of the vulnerabilities that can be exploited

2. Cyber Crimes- the threats created by those who want to exploit the vulnerabilities

3. Risk Management- the strategies and tactics used by an organization to manage the risks created by the combination of vulnerabilities and threats

4. Incident Investigations- the "response" mode in the risk management strategy in which investigations are conducted and prosecution is pursued.
