The Iowa Community College Information Assurance and Computer Security Training (ICCIACST - pronounced I see, I act) program is a two-year program for information technology (IT) instructors from community colleges in Iowa and adjacent states to gain or expand their information assurance and computer security knowledge. The program provides curricular materials needed to implement a security course and incorporate real world exercises into class work. IT instructors participate in year-long distance education courses with a one week, on-site, intensive summer workshop as a capstone event. At the end of the second summer session, in addition to incorporating security across IT curriculum, the IT instructors are able to run their own security outreach programs including a cyber defense competition.Community colleges across the nation serve a high percentage of populations underrepresented in the science and technology areas, including minorities and women. By focusing on improving the information assurance and computer security knowledge and skill of the IT instructors at community colleges, students in underrepresented populations are given access to more complete information and can broaden their own understanding of security principles. Further, many students in an information technology (IT) track at a community college enter the job market as an IT professional. They need knowledge, experience and understanding of the importance of security when implementing IT projects since many of them are becoming the IT staff who are ?in the trenches? connecting computers, servers, networks, as well as writing code, to support the most basic needs in the IT industry.

该爱荷华州社区学院信息保障和计算机安全培训（ICCIACST -发音我看，我的行为）计划是一个为期两年的计划，信息技术（IT）教师从社区学院在爱荷华州和邻近国家获得或扩大他们的信息保障和计算机安全知识。 该计划提供了实施安全课程所需的课程材料，并将真实的世界练习纳入课堂作业。IT讲师参加为期一年的远程教育课程，并将为期一周的现场密集夏季研讨会作为顶峰活动。在第二届夏季课程结束时，除了将安全纳入整个IT课程之外，IT讲师还能够运行自己的安全推广计划，包括网络防御竞赛。全国各地的社区学院为科学和技术领域中比例较低的人口提供服务，包括少数民族和妇女。通过重点提高社区学院信息技术教员的信息保障和计算机安全知识和技能，代表性不足的学生可以获得更完整的信息，并可以扩大他们自己对安全原则的理解。 此外，许多学生在信息技术（IT）轨道在社区学院进入就业市场作为一个IT专业。 他们需要的知识，经验和安全的重要性的理解时，实施IT项目，因为他们中的许多人正在成为IT人员谁是？在战壕里连接计算机、服务器、网络以及编写代码，以支持IT行业的最基本需求。
