Abstract

This paper presents an early information security course for IT students. We followed teaching methods and good practices presented in relevant literature to design our course outline. As a result, we arranged a semester long course which covers information security topics, offensive and defensive training activities, and overall security mindset. Finally, the initial findings from running the course are discussed.

Keyphrases: Defensive Security, Offensive Security, security mindset, teaching information security
