Development of a Federal Cyber Force at the Air Force Institute of Technology

空军技术学院（AFIT）的信息安全教育和研究中心（CISER）正在建立一个SFS奖学金计划。作为国家安全局指定的信息保障教育学术卓越中心（CAE/IAE），AFIT继续为信息保障（IA）合格专业人员的生产做出重大贡献，SFS计划正在加强这一贡献。智力上的优点。AFIT SFS奖学金计划包括几个独特的组成部分。第一，东帝汶部队的重点是在临时行政区内的进攻和防御行动。第二，AFIT强调理论和通过技术解决方案在实践中应用该理论，同时认识到政策和管理在IA中的重要性。第三，AFIT课程和研究议程的重点是政府和国防部的计算机和网络操作。学生正在学习最先进的IA技术以及如何调查和解决困难的IA问题。更广泛的影响。CISER SFS计划的毕业生对拥有先进的IA知识和解决问题能力的联邦劳动力的形成产生了广泛的影响。AFIT教育经验的重点是联邦政府和国防部的信息系统，并立即为他们提供有用的知识，使他们了解我们的信息基础设施的最佳实践和脆弱性。

The Center for Information Security Education and Research (CISER) at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) is establishing an SFS scholarship program. As a National Security Agency designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE), AFIT is continuing to make a significant contribution to the production of information assurance (IA) qualified professionals and the SFS program is enhancing this contribution. Intellectual merit. The AFIT SFS scholarship program includes several unique components. First, AFIT is focusing on both offensive and defensive operations within the area of IA. Second, AFIT is emphasizing both theory and the application of that theory in practice through technical solutions while recognizing the importance of policy and management in IA. Third, the AFIT curriculum and research agenda is focusing on government and DoD computer and network operations. Students are learning state-of-the-art IA technology as well as how to investigate and solve difficult IA problems. Broader impact. The CISER SFS program graduates are having a broad impact on the formation of a Federal workforce that possesses advanced IA knowledge and problem-solving abilities. The AFIT educational experience is focusing on Federal Government and DoD information systems and is giving them immediately useful knowledge into both best practices as well as vulnerabilities of our information infrastructure.
