CYBER SECURITY PROGRAMS
TOP SCHOOLS WITH CYBER SECURITY/INFORMATION ASSURANCE PROGRAMS October 2010 marked the seventh annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security. Businesses, schools, colleges and home us- ers participated in events held across the country. The federal government, in partnership with educators and industry, is promoting K-12 programs for digital safety, ethics, and security, while expanding sup- port for education programs and research and development in colleges and universities, as the conditions are set to create a strong workforce.
“America’s economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cyber security.”
—President Barack Obama
Computers are important to all parts of the economy, and
the number of careers that involve work with computers is constantly expanding. Information assurance (IA) is one of the fastest growing areas of information technology. IA addresses concerns ranging from individual privacy and data protec- tion in commerce, entertainment and social interaction to national security. The National Centers of Academic Excellence
in Information Assurance Education and Research, founded in 1988 by the National Security Agency and co-sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security since 2004, promotes education in information assurance in 94 institutions of higher learning in 38 states and the Dis- trict of Columbia. These centers have built partnerships to include majority institutions, community, Hispanic, and historically black colleges. The Defense Depart- ment also sponsors the Infor- mation Assurance Scholarship Program in those institutions.
USBE&IT brings you a partial list of top colleges with cyber secu- rity research and education cen-
ters in the United States, working to create a pool of informa- tion assurance professionals who can address the wide range of technology, policy, and management issues in government, industry, and academia.
