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.
