Along with the advancement of modern society in information technology, personal computers, networks, and the Internet have become tools of ever-increasingly convenience for our lives.? However, unexpected risks in information security have become a serious cause of concern and the importance of security increases with time.
The 2nd set of lectures in the series of intensive courses for Leading Edge IT Specialists focuses on “Information Security - To protect the IT society which demands knowledge and intelligence corresponding to the current rapidly evolving era of the Internet”, will be held through 3 courses over a 5-day period, and will offer special lecturers invited from IBM Japan, Ltd. and other universities.

However, participants are free to register for separate sets of lectures by individual lectures.? All courses will be taught in English, as is done for most of the regular courses provided by the University’s Graduate School.?
