IA 471 - Data Security and Privacy


Recent years have witnessed a surge in data production in various walks of life. From social networking posts, to E-commerce Web server transaction logs, to publicly available aggregate databases, such as census data, weather data, etc. Some of these are fairly innocuous while others, when manipulated with the right tools, could potentially expose people’s identities and violate their privacy. Another dimension to this exponential growth in data is manifested in the bigger challenges that face those who secure such data. This course provides an overview of data security and privacy, while providing a concise coverage of the various relevant matters, such as data science, Big Data, and Data Mining; as well as pertinent laws, regulations, and codes of ethics. It follows a progressive approach that prepares students for more advanced topics related to data security and privacy.
