Kamel Gadouche: The objective of the data security course is to provide students with a "culture of information security management" including the presentation of data security issues, responsibilities and application methods with concrete examples. This course will be based on current standards and reference systems (RGPD, ISO). It will present the principles of the method for establishing an information security policy in order to understand the stakes: objectives, governance, risks, measures, action plan, indicators, evaluation and continuous improvement. This part will also present recommendations, examples of security incidents and the main security measures generally implemented: anonymization, encryption, backups, access permissions, etc. 

Paola Tubaro : The objective of this part of the course is to raise students' awareness of the basic principles of data ethics, taking into account the normative framework in force regarding the openness of science and data, as well as the protection of personal data. This course will help students learn to recognize the challenges faced in data collection and analysis, while identifying existing solutions and best practices. Students will become familiar with these issues while acquiring a reflective posture that will help them prevent risks, learn from experience and find helpful information within their work environment

At the end of this course, students will know how to:

Understand the contribution and implications of the main ethical theories, and their applicability to data

Identify the ethical issues that arise at each stage of a data project, particularly digital

Identify and evaluate existing solutions (best practices, guidelines, help services, etc.)
