University of Washington Scholarship for Service Program (CIAC)

华盛顿大学信息保障和网络安全中心(CIAC)正在通过一项新的联邦网络服务：服务奖学金(SFS)计划支持三批研究生。这些学生正在掌握管理云中安全所需的新技能。这个现有的学术项目位于世界前二十名大学之一，已经培养了两个信息保障(IA)项目的200多名毕业生。SFS的学生正在与太平洋西北国家实验室的网络安全委员会、蜜网项目的一个活跃部分以及应用物理实验室关于恶意软件和僵尸网络的工作合作参与研究。该计划的其他优势包括：5个IA证书；数十名兼职教员在校园内提供跨学科的网络安全课程；以及与Agora和InFraard(FBI)的合作。SFS项目通过向毕业生提供云计算和智能电网安全方面的专业知识，正在对联邦工作人员的网络安全能力产生立竿见影的影响。华盛顿大学50%以上的学生是女性，30%以上来自不同种族的群体；这种多样性反映在招生工作中。该中心积极参与帮助开发云的组织，包括亚马逊、波音、博思艾伦汉密尔顿和微软。该计划具有独特的定位，专门从事云安全管理。

The University of Washington's Center for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity (CIAC) is supporting three cohorts of graduate students via a new Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program. These students are mastering the new skills required for managing security in the cloud.Located in one of the top twenty universities in the world, this existing academic program has already produced over 200 graduates in two Information Assurance (IA) programs. The SFS students are participating in research in partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Cybersecurity directorate; an active Chapter of the Honeynet Project; and the Applied Physics Laboratory work on malware and botnets. Other strengths of the program include: five IA certificates; dozens of adjunct faculty-practitioners offering interdisciplinary cybersecurity courses across campus; and collaboration with Agora and Infragard (FBI).The SFS project is having an immediate impact on the cybersecurity capabilities of the federal workforce by providing graduates with expertise in the security of cloud computing and smart grids. More than 50% of the University of Washington student population is female and more than 30% is from ethnically diverse groups; this diversity is reflected in the recruiting efforts. The Center's is actively engaged with organizations instrumental in developing the cloud, including Amazon, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton and Microsoft. The program is uniquely positioned to specialize in the management of cloud security.
