Security is one of the major concerns of modern software development, but there is a wide gap between the industry practice and the academic instruction. Security issues are usually not addressed in academic setup and those attempt to make it as part of their software engineering curriculum realize quickly that it is difficult to make learning happen in a conventional lecture based approach. We explored a case study centered non-conventional approach and found it to be instrumental in bridging this gap between the industry and the academia. We give a detailed methodology for using the case study and our experience, observations and result of the approach. Whole case exercise aims at creating software professionals who realize the importance of security and are well versed with the related concepts, skills and dispositions and thus handle security related challenges in a structured manner.
