计算机科学(31)佐治亚理工学院信息安全中心(GTISC)是一个指定的学术卓越中心，是涵盖整个研究所的信息安全、信息保障、关键信息基础设施保护(IS/IA/CIIP)和相关学科的研究和教育的总括组织。参与的教员和相关学位课程包括：计算机学院，其课程包括信息系统专业的一名科学硕士和信息系统/信息技术学院的约30名博士生；电气和计算机工程学院；以及萨姆·南学院(SNS)，包括国际战略、技术和政策中心(CISTP)，涵盖与技术相关的国内、国家和国际安全研究。除了大约10门完全或主要针对IS/IA/CIIP的课程外，这些单位和其他单位还提供丰富的研究生课程，涉及网络、操作系统、软件工程、无线通信、传感器、容错、风险和成本效益分析、电子政务、人机交互、安全分析和政策以及电信政策。GTISC的核心有大约12名教职员工，另外大约有30名教职员工和研究人员对IS/IA/CIIP非常感兴趣。在目前的SFS项目中，我们学到了一些经验教训，这些经验形成并集中于培养高质量的、受过技术教育的两个硕士项目之一的学生。一个是IS，另一个专注于政策和国土/国家/国际安全。后者包括以下领域：CIIP、网络空间的犯罪和恐怖主义利用、处理网络安全问题的国际合作、应对流行病和其他以生物为导向的威胁的关键信息系统，以及几个层面上与信息技术有关的安全政策。在社交网络的学生中，有一批成绩优异的学生，其中一半以上是女性，他们拥有良好的沟通能力，而且有很高比例的美国公民是清晰可见的。他们对网络安全中的人员和政策问题特别敏感，参加3-4门技术IS/IA核心课程没有问题。以学业成绩和安置情况衡量，他们已被证明是我们所拥有的最成功的SFS学生队伍。由于SFS计划，他们都对IS/IA/CIIP和政府服务感兴趣。

Computer Science (31)The Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC), a designated Center of Academic Excellence, is the umbrella organization covering research and education in information security, information assurance, critical information infrastructure protection (IS/IA/CIIP) and related subjects across the Institute. Participating faculty and relevant degree programs exist in the College of Computing, which has a curriculum that supports a fully dedicated Master of Science in IS and about 30 PhD students in IS/IA; the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE); and the Sam Nunn School (SNS), including the Center for International Strategy, Technology and Policy (CISTP) that coverers technology-related homeland, national, and international security studies. In addition to about 10 courses that are wholly or largely dedicated to IS/IA/CIIP, these and other units offer a rich selection of graduate courses on networks, operating systems, software engineering, wireless communications, sensors, fault tolerance, risk and cost-benefit analyses, e-government, Human Computer Interaction, security analysis and policy, and telecommunications policy. The GTISC core has about a dozen faculty members, and approximately 30 additional faculty and research staff have serious interests in IS/IA/CIIP. During the current SFS program, several lessons have been learned that shape and focus the present proposal towards educating high quality, technically educated students in one of two Master's programs. One is in IS, and the other concentrates on policy and homeland/national/international security. The latter includes such areas as CIIP, criminal and terrorist use of cyberspace, international cooperation in dealing with cyber security problems, critical information systems for dealing with epidemics and other biologically-oriented threats, and IT-related security policies at several levels. Among students in the SNS, there is a pool of high achieving students, more than half women, with good communications skills, and a high percentage of clearable US citizens. They are particularly sensitive to people and policy issues in cyber security, and have no trouble taking a core of 3-4 technical IS/IA courses. Measured by academic performance and placement, they have proven to be the most successful contingent of SFS students we have had. All of them became interested in IS/IA/CIIP and government service because of the SFS program.
