We describe innovative new approaches to teaching information systems security that may be used individually or in combination. Information system security is a difficult course to teach and these approaches provide resources to both novice and experienced educators to enhance their courses. We conclude that more educational development work needs to done to uniformly improve information systems security education to counterbalance pressures for technical training over fundamental concepts and this paper provides a start by synthesizing the current state-of-the-art.
