“Computer Security” and its importance in engineer education

Abstract

The computer security is an important and actual problem in digital age. How can a regular user prevent cyber-attacks aimed at his/her computer or at other IT devices connected to the Internet? What should she/he look out for when browsing web pages not to become a victim of computer crime? The authors of this paper seek to answers these and many other similar questions. They propose to include topic of “Computer Security” not only into the curriculum of engineers such an object or as a thematic unit but also for future teachers of computer science.
