Federal Cyber Service Scholarships

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，是一个涵盖信息安全、信息保障、关键信息基础设施保护（is /IA/CIIP）和整个学院相关学科的研究和教育的伞型组织。计算机学院有参与的教师和相关学位课程，该学院的课程支持一个完全专注的信息系统理学硕士和大约30名信息系统/信息系统博士研究生；电气与计算机工程学院（ECE）；萨姆·纳恩学院（SNS），包括国际战略、技术和政策中心（cisp），该中心涵盖与技术相关的国土、国家和国际安全研究。除了大约10门完全或主要致力于IS/IA/CIIP的课程外，这些和其他单元还提供丰富的研究生课程选择，包括网络、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核心有大约12名教职员工，另外大约30名教职员工和研究人员对IS/IA/CIIP有浓厚的兴趣。在目前的SFS项目中，已经吸取了一些经验教训，这些经验教训形成并集中了目前的建议，即在两个硕士项目之一中培养高质量的、受过技术教育的学生。一个是在is，另一个集中在政策和国土/国家/国际安全。后者包括国际知识产权、网络空间的犯罪和恐怖主义利用、应对网络安全问题的国际合作、应对流行病和其他生物威胁的关键信息系统以及与信息技术有关的若干层面的安全政策等领域。在社交网络的学生中，有一群成绩优异的学生，一半以上是女性，具有良好的沟通技巧，而且有很高比例的美国公民。他们对网络安全方面的人和政策问题特别敏感，学习3-4门it /IA核心技术课程没有问题。从学习成绩和分班情况来看，他们是我校有史以来最成功的学生。由于SFS项目，他们都对IS/IA/CIIP和政府服务产生了兴趣。

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.
