- Information assurance and information security are serious worldwide concerns. Computer security is one of the three new focal areas of the ACM/IEEE’s Computer Science Curriculum update in 2008. This ACM/IEEE report describes, as the first of its three recent trends, “the emergence of security as a major area of concern.” [3] The purpose of this working group report is to continue the work of the 2009 working group on information assurance (IA) education. The focus of the 2010 working group is to examine the curricula of existing academic programs, as well as at the key academic governmental and industry IA education standards and guidelines identified by the 2009 IA working group in order to begin defining the IA education space as a first step towards developing curricular guidelines.

Information Assurance Education in Two- and Four-Year Institutions
- 2011
-
In: Proceedings of the 2011 ITiCSE Working Group Reports (ITiCSE-WGR’11). - New York, NY, USA : ACM. ; , s. 39-53
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The 2011 ITiCSE working group on information assurance (IA) education examined undergraduate curricula at the two- and four-year levels, both within and outside the United States (US). A broad set of two-year IA degree programs were examined in order to get a sense of similarities and differences between them. A broad set of four-year IA degree programs were also examined to explore their similarities and differences. A comparison between the two-year and four-year degree programs revealed that the common challenge of articulation between two- and four-year programs exists in IA as well. The challenge of articulation was explored in some depth in order to understand what remedies might be available. Finally, a number of IA programs at international institutions were examined in order to gain insight into differences between US and non-US IA programs.
