Engaging Students through an Information Assurance Exercise
In this paper, the Information Assurance Exercise that has recently been developed at Auburn University will be discussed. This educational exercise provides Auburn University with a means to foster student interest as a potential area of study in information assurance as well as Computer Science. This sort of high speed, low drag exercise is designed to be a student’s first exposure to real information assurance practices and demonstrates the stark differences between setting up a virus scanner on a home computer and the level of effort required in securing an enterprise level system. Optional courses in information assurance and computer forensics continue to grow at most universities.
The Colloquium™ recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium™ is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
