Combining Theory with Practice in Information Security Education
To meet the current industry demand for qualified security professionals, we need innovative courseware that can help students apply information assurance theory into practice. This paper describes our experience in designing hands-on information assurance courseware that addresses the current demand. In addition, we have presented a survey instrument to assess our design based on the contents of lectures, the contents of laboratory exercises, the relevance between the lecture and laboratory exercises, and the overall impact of the class on students.
CISSE 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.
