Abstract: Cyber Forensics is an emerging discipline offering significant career opportunities. Professionals in this discipline combat identity theft, corporate theft, cyber terrorism, and the exploitation of minors. To meet the current and growing need of these professionals, Robert Morris University has developed a new and innovative Bachelor of Science in Cyber Forensics and Information Security (BS-CFIS). This paper describes the rationale, development, and implementation of this new undergraduate degree program. Initial enrollment projections are cited in relation to actual student enrollment for the first year of the program. In addition, future enrollment projections for the new degree program are explored.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss some of the relations and differences between the right to privacy and self-determination, and discuss the need for clarification of the relationship between the two rights.
Abstract: The right to privacy and the right to autonomy or self-determination are interrelated in various ways, but they are still very different rights. In this paper I will discuss some of the relations and differences between those rights. The motivation behind this task is the idea that clarification of the right to privacy and the right to self-determination may be very important when we talk about the notion of genetic privacy and practical issues related to it.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey was conducted to study the impact of identity theft insurance on consumer risk perceptions and their risky behavioral intentions, and the results showed that identity theft insurers, as a curative remedy, does undermine individual risk perceptions of being victimized by the identity theft.
Abstract: A survey was conducted to study the impact of identity theft insurance on consumer risk perceptions and their risky behavioral intentions. By using the data collected from this survey, we were able to elicit and estimate subjects’ risk perceptions toward identity theft and also their intentions to engage into risky online shopping activities which may endanger their personal identity. The results show that identity theft insurance, as a curative remedy, does undermine individual risk perceptions of being victimized by the identity theft. Additionally, we also demonstrate that having identity theft insurance surprisingly increases consumer intentions to involve into the activities that could put personal identity at risk. Identity theft insurance, which is believed by consumers to protect their personal information, does have unintended impact with negative consequences on consumer welfare. This research provides valuable and deep insights for consumers, marketers, and government agencies to understand the identity theft insurance.
