DAT 607 - Security, Privacy, and Ethics in Data Analytics

3 Credits
Offered periodically or as needed
A survey and case study course emphasizing the importance of data privacy and security. We need to share data in organizations, but the more we share it, the more it becomes necessary to protect it. By the end of the course, students will understand the legal, social, and ethical ramifications of data security and privacy as well as the concepts behind data guardianship and custodianship and data permissions. Special attention will be given to industry-specific data privacy laws (HIPAA, FERPA, PCI DSS, etc.).

Prerequisites/Restrictions: Completion of a bachelor’s degree.
