Now that we have had an introduction to security protocols that will help reduce the risk of asecurityincident we are going to study securityincidents. Each student will select a recent security incident that had their data stolen by an outside attack, insider threat, or some other mechanism.There are multiple examples that can be used,i.e.,Target,Capital One, Home Depot, OPM,etc.As youevaluatethe incident you evaluate several components throughout the remainder of the course.

1)

Consider the following choice.  Your friend will give you a free $5 bill, no strings attached. 

Or your friend will allow you to flip a coin, heads you win $10, tails you win nothing.  Do 

you want the $5, or do you want to flip the coin?  What does Expected Value theory tell you 

that you should do?  Does this accurately represent your feeling about the decision?

2)

Consider the same choice as in Question 1, but this time you can win $12 if the coin comes 

up heads (tails you still win nothing).  Do you still prefer the sure $5? Does this violate 

Expected Value? Does the concept of utility help you to explain your choice, if you prefer 

the $5?
