UK's First 'Ethical Hacking' Degree Planned

John E. Dunn writes on TechWorld:

A Scottish university has become the first in the UK to offer a degree course in what it describes as "ethical hacking".

The University of Abertay, based in Dundee, will offer the 3-year course from this September with the aim of turning out "white hat" experts to help companies protect themselves from computer security risks.

The course will be thoroughly vetted, with the background of each applicant being studied by The UK Home Office to stop the possibility of criminals signing up.
