The Computer Science Department at James Madison University is supporting three cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students in Information Security and Digital Forensics via the Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS) in Information Assurance program. The undergraduate students are earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and a thorough Information Security certification while the graduate students are earning a Master's degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Digital Forensics, a combination of core computer science concepts and a technical study of digital forensics. The curriculum is system-oriented but also includes core digital forensics components such as the forensic process, relevant laws, analysis techniques, and report writing. The CS Department has already graduated over 200 graduate students with IA concentrations and over 150 undergraduate students with CNSS 4011 certificates. Future security professionals are given opportunities to be involved in research activities, especially in the area of Digital Forensics.The project is having an immediate impact on the Information Assurance and Computer Security capabilities of the federal workforce by providing Bachelor of Science graduates with general computing and security skills to the agencies that employ them. The graduates from the Digital Forensics concentration are valuable assets for federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, bringing with them the skills needed to investigate complex incidents and attacks to the national infrastructure. The PIs are focusing strongly on recruiting students from minority institutions.

詹姆斯麦迪逊大学计算机科学系正在通过联邦网络服务：信息保障计划中的服务奖学金（SFS）支持三批信息安全和数字取证的本科生和研究生。 本科生获得计算机科学学士学位和全面的信息安全认证，而研究生则获得计算机科学硕士学位，专注于数字取证，核心计算机科学概念和数字取证技术研究的结合。该课程是面向系统的，但也包括核心数字取证组件，如取证过程，相关法律，分析技术和报告撰写。CS系已经毕业了200多名研究生IA浓度和150多名本科生与CNSS 4011证书。未来的安全专业人员有机会参与研究活动，特别是在数字取证领域。该项目通过为雇用他们的机构提供一般计算和安全技能的理学学士毕业生，对联邦劳动力的信息保证和计算机安全能力产生直接影响。从数字取证集中的毕业生是联邦执法和情报机构的宝贵资产，与他们一起带来了调查复杂事件和攻击国家基础设施所需的技能。PI非常注重从少数民族院校招收学生。
