SIS was awarded an equipment donation valued at $129,472 in December 2005 through the CIAG Equipment Donation Program of Cisco Systems, Incorporated.  The purpose of the gift is to equip the Security Assured Information Systems (SAIS) program lab for Information Assurance education, lab exercises, and related research.

SIS offers both theory and hands-on laboratory-based learning, earning all five NSA certifications as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education.  Our intensive lab-based curriculum component makes this Cisco equipment donation all the more welcome and valuable.
