I would recommend your thoughts/analysis/etc. on how the security
industry can become more proactive and less reactive on protecting
against viruses, worms, bots. Etc.

Just the thoughts of someone who teaches Information Security at ITT
Tech.

Subject: advice on dissertation IT security

Hi everyone,

I'm in my final year of my bachelor in computer science.
This year I also need to write a dissertation (80-120 pages) on a
computer-related subject.
I'm free to choose which subject as long as it provides some added value
to my general education.

As I'm genuinely interested in IT security, I was thinking of choosing a
topic in this field.
Some subjects that already came into my mind are: IDS/IPS or NAC
technology.

I wonder what you think about these subjects, which one would you
prefer? Are there any other subjects you might recommend to write a
dissertation about?

Many thanks for your help and advice!
Best regards,

Chris
