"IT", for instance stands for 'Information Technology'; a thesis discussion to present your professor could be - which is the project, the managment of the technology or of the information. This could lead you to a thesis subject palatable to the prof and the school and thus a more assured better grade.
But if all else fails there is " MANAGMENT OF THE INFORMATION with TECHNOLOGY; or the dreadded MANAGMENT OF TECHNOOGY WITH INFORMATION = sigh, being a creative (sinonomouse with lazy) student there are surely other wonderful refrasings that are useful.

IT managment has been indoctornated to believe IT security is a matter of degree- not absolution. protecting information assets deserve full retribution-the only solution to reducing webbase theats.

With the driving forces of cost reduction, increased flexibility, and environmental concerns IT systems management will change from being siloed functions (network, servers, applications) to a more holistic approach driven from a business service perspective. This will allow you to examine management thinking (Gary Hamel, peter senge, etc) and technology changes (virtualisation, normalisation, etc) and develop a model to demonstrate the linkage between the two.

IT Security is based on risk factors which take into account the estimated value of potential losses. If the information you collect doesn't have a value, then you shouldn't be wasting your money collecting it. If it has a cost, then your IT infrastructure should be built to protect to that value. Failure to do so is failure to observe due dilligence.

So here's an idea: Is it due dilligence to protect assets to the value of the potential loss? Would the reasonable man do that? If so, then are 90% of the houses in the world who don't protect their systems sufficient to protect their assets (identities etc.) unreasonable? Can the majority be unreasonable, or is it by definition the reasonable approach? Canwe assume that the reasonable man is capable of protecting their own network security any more than they are capable of preventing themselves from falling victimt to other kinds of crimes and transgressions? Since we cannot expect the typical homeowner with Internet connectivity to be able to provide for their own security, is this a task that governments should provide for them?
