Providing security and assurance
to information systems has emerged as one of the most
daunting technological and social challenges of recent
times. The rapid development of Internet-based technologies
and society’s
increasing reliance on these systems, coupled with
the threat of malicious attacks, have raised the importance
of new knowledge, professional skills, and human resources
in the area of information assurance.
A series of courses
in information security and assurance provides you
the opportunity to focus your studies in the theory
and practice of developing secure and highly assured
information systems and networks. The curriculum
in Security
Assured Information Systems (SAIS) has
been certified by the Committee on National System
Security (CNSS) as meeting the national standards for
INFOSEC education. Joining an elite group of students
in a National Security Agency-certified National Center
of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education
(NCAE/IAE), you will gain a thorough understanding
of the principles of secure systems and networks
and learn how to build highly assured information systems.
