The Cyber Defense Exercise: An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Information Assurance Education
The US Military Academy at West Point issued a challenge to the five United States service academies to participate in an inter-academy Cyber Defense Exercise (CDE). This exercise was initiated and implemented by faculty and cadets assigned to the US Military Academy, West Point, with funding and direction provided by the National Security Agency. The concept of defending the network was derived to evaluate cadet skills and the effectiveness of the Information Assurance (IA) education invoked at West Point. The Cyber Defense Exercise served as the final project for senior-level Computer Science majors enrolled in the Information Assurance (IA) course. The IA - Service Academy Group for Education Superiority (IA-SAGES), a group formed to plan, develop and share IA curriculum, proposed that all US service academies teaching an IA course participate in the exercise. The US Air Force Academy and US Military Academy accepted the challenge to compete in 2001.
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.
