Boot Camp, May 21
Information Assurance Faculty Development Workshop
Improving the Information Assurance (IA) performance of the United States is critical. The IA crisis is real. The American educational system cannot meet the challenge yet.
The National Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education (NCISSE) is committed to meeting the challenge and helping faculty develop course offerings to ameliorate the crisis.
The NCISSE will host a one-day workshop (May 21), prior to the start of the NCISSE, May 22-24, for faculty interested in improving their skills in Information Security (IS) or Information Assurance (IA).
WHO
You, if you who want to develop skills in information assurance and security. You can be from any discipline. Your instructors will have extensive backgrounds in accounting, computer science, education, informatics, international law, history, ethics, and many other disciplines.
If you are a faculty member at an accredited higher education or secondary education institution and want to develop your teaching skills in information security or information assurance, you are invited to be our guest for the Professional Development Workshop on May 21. Faculty members attending the Boot Camp on May 21 are requested to register for NCISSE meetings on May 22 - 24; the registration fee is $250; there will be a limited number of faculty scholarships ($250) available for the Boot Camp attendees. Graduate and undergraduate IT, IA or IS students attending the Boot Camp and/or the colloquium can request a student scholarship ($250) which will cover the cost of the conference registration. The colloquium on-line registration form must be used to register for the colloquium and Boot Camp.
Faculty attendees are encouraged to bring students who have shown interest in information security or information assurance. There will be a separate program for students in the discipline.
WHAT
The NCISSE is a non-profit organization comprised of leaders from government, industry and academic organizations and individuals dedicated to advancing IA education. The NCISSE has accepted the challenge.
We have commitment from fifteen individuals who are committed to making this Boot Camp a successful happening. This invitation only program will:
- Focus on faculty development.
- Focus on developing faculty capability in an Introduction to Information Assurance course.
- Establish a mentoring mechanism to aid higher education institutions to meet the Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE) standards.
- Establish partnerships among institutions for the National Science Foundation Scholarship for Service program.
WHY
Improving the Information Assurance (IA) and Information Security (IS) performance of the United States is critical. The crisis is real.
This year the NCISSE is providing outreach to academic institutions nationwide. The NCISSE is dedicating its efforts this year to increasing the number of institutions able to participate fully in solving the shortage of IA professionals.
An under-prepared academic community must rise rapidly to the challenge of this crisis. The present national need for an immediate increase in the development of IA and IS professionals at all levels cannot be met within the existing educational structure. Although the American educational system has begun to respond to the urgent need for increased numbers of IA and IS professionals, the standard academic mechanisms and processes are too slow to satisfy the current and projected demand in a timely fashion.
Both industry and government have begun to address this problem. Many companies have active outreach to schools through both their Community Affairs and Research programs. The National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Committee (NSTISSC) has provided standards to ensure that individuals entering the profession have a minimum set of competencies. To learn more about the NSTISSC please visit www.nstissc.gov. In addition, organizations like the International Information Systems Security Certifications Consortium (ISC)² , have established mechanisms for certifying the knowledge of information security professionals.
The federal government has established a Scholarship for Service program. To be eligible, an institution must be able to demonstrate that its programs meet criteria equivalent to those necessary for certification by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE). To learn more about his program please visit http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2001/nsf0111/nsf0111.htm
At this time there are 23 schools that have been designated as CAE/IAE institutions. It is essential to increase the number of institutions producing IA professionals. Your help is vital!
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Mr. William Hugh Murray, Deloitte and Touche, will conduct a two-hour workshop on ‘INFOSEC 101’ the fundamentals of teaching an information security or information assurance class.
- Dr. William Maconachy from the NSA will discuss system threats and risk analysis.
- Dr. Deborah Frincke from University of Idaho will facilitate an introduction to computer forensics.
- Dr. Cynthia Irvine from the Naval Postgraduate School will demonstrate and share her materials on Information Assurance Fundamentals.
- Dr. James Davis from Iowa State University will discuss the details of curriculum development and current curriculum projects.
- Professor Dan Ryan, esq. will discuss the legal and ethical models for information security and privacy.
- Faculty from several universities will conduct mentoring sessions on how to build an information security and assurance curriculum and program.
- And more…………….
YOUR HOSTS
The NCISSE meeting, the fifth in an ongoing annual series, will bring together leading figures from academia, government, and industry to address the national need for security and assurance of our information and communications infrastructure. This goal requires both an information-literate work force that is aware of its IA and IS vulnerabilities as well as a cadre of professionals that are knowledgeable of the recognized "best practices" available in information security and information assurance.
