Susan Lincke, PHD CISA CRISC

Teaching Interests

Dr Lincke teaches Operating Systems, Assembly, Computer Architecture, Information Security, Network Security, Basic Info Security, and Security and Risk. She has taught Computer Networks and Software Engineering I and II.

Research Interests

Dr Lincke's research interests are in information security, risk, wireless simulation and green computing. Between 2009-2013, Dr Lincke was funded through a National Science Foundation grant relating to Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI). The grant funded the development of a course in Information Security that included the semester-long Health First Case Study and service learning in security. She was UWP's 2015-2016 Research Award recipient.

Consulting Interests

Dr Lincke is author of: Security Planning: An Applied Approach (Springer, 2015). This text is designed for the busy IT practitioner, who does not have time to become a security expert, but needs a security plan NOW. This guide, with template, helps readers to prioritize risks, conform to regulation, plan their defense, and secure proprietary/confidential information. The process becomes documented in the Security Workbook, provided with the text. From a teaching perspective, Security Planning is the first text with an optional semester-long case study on HIPAA. The text also addresses the NSA's Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) 2014 plan, addressing 5 mandatory and 15 Optional Knowledge Units. (NSA does not endorse texts.)
