Based on our experience teaching college students in these environments, we have noted that on entering school, generally, individuals demonstrate limited background knowledge of a variety of computer related technologies. Students begin with a technical disadvantage that represents a readily exploitable attack vector for\n identity thieves<\/jats:italic>\n . Because of the experience deficit, the hazard of\n identity theft<\/jats:italic>\n is significant with possible severe detrimental outcomes for the student victim. In addition, the negative impact on the society as a whole is substantial. Methods that reach beyond traditional formal computer or network security instruction in the classroom and extend information assurance education across disciplines are needed. We have explored this direction at the university and have worked on strategies to educate students about\n identity theft<\/jats:italic>\n . The interdisciplinary programs outlined here span the curriculum. In addition, we suggest community outreach programs that extend the scope of influence of information assurance education beyond the university to include surrounding at risk populations.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2095272.2095276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,17]],"date-time":"2012-01-17T17:21:44Z","timestamp":1326820904000},"page":"38-50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An interdisciplinary approach to address identity theft education"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Helser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Davenport University, Caro, Illinois"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","first-page":"71","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 14 th Colloquium for Information Security Education (CISSE '10)","author":"Helser S.","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","unstructured":"Information Security and Assurance Center (ISAAC) http:\/\/sot.davenport.edu\/isaac\/ Information Security and Assurance Center (ISAAC) http:\/\/sot.davenport.edu\/isaac\/"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","unstructured":"National Centers of Academic Excellence http:\/\/www.nsa.gov\/ia\/academic_outreach\/nat_cae\/index.shtml National Centers of Academic Excellence http:\/\/www.nsa.gov\/ia\/academic_outreach\/nat_cae\/index.shtml"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1125944.1125961"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","unstructured":"U.
