Cybersecurity Scholarship-for-Service at The Unive

该项目打算在亚利桑那大学 (UA) 管理信息系统 (MIS) 系创建一个新的 Cyber​​Corps(R)：服务奖学金 (SFS) 计划，特别针对全州范围内的招聘，特别强调少数族裔的招聘和保留。拟议的计划涵盖几个重要的活动领域，例如学生指导和发展；纳入计划的独立研究；评估学生的进步；实习和毕业后安置协助；以及计划评估和评价。网络安全和信息保障对于确保现代全球网络基础设施的完整性和可用性需求至关重要。雇主面临的最大挑战是找到具备适当安全技能的员工，包括运营安全、信息安全风险管理和安全管理实践，从而证明 SFS 计划是及时、相关和有益的。 UA 的 MIS 系因其 20 多年来一直位居全美 MIS 项目前五名（《美国新闻与世界报道》）而闻名。该计划的管理方法有意采用跨学科的方式，旨在支持网络安全最广泛的定义，包括信息保障、网络安全、可信计算、IT 风险管理等。该计划旨在满足美国对安全培训的巨大需求。该课程包括世界一流教师在安全和风险管理、运营安全、信息安全风险管理和安全管理实践方面的专门课程和重要研究。该计划的最终目标是帮助扩大科学技术的代表性，提高政府服务的兴趣和技术能力。该计划通过提供一批精心培养和训练有素的人员来满足对知识渊博的安全专家日益增长的需求。该项目有助于有意义的课程开发，可以作为其他项目的典范。

This project intends to create a new CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the department of Management Information Systems (MIS) of the University of Arizona (UA) especially aimed at recruiting from across the state, with particular emphasis on minority recruitment and retention. The proposed program encompasses several important areas of activity such as student mentoring and development; independent research study integrated into the program; assessment of student progress; internship and post-graduation placement assistance; and program assessment and evaluation. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance are critical to ensuring the integrity and availability demands of a modern, globally-networked infrastructure. The biggest challenge facing employers is finding employees with the right security skills, including operations security, information security risk management, and security management practices thus proving the SFS program timely, relevant, and beneficial. The MIS department at UA is renowned for its consistent ranking in the top five MIS programs in the country (U.S. News and World Report) for over 20 years. The approach to managing the program is deliberately cross-disciplinary and intended to support the broadest definition of cybersecurity, including information assurance, network security, trustworthy computing, risk management for IT, etc. The program is intended to address the great need for security training in the U.S. The curriculum includes dedicated coursework and significant research with world-class faculty in security and risk management, operations security, information security risk management, and security management practices. The ultimate goal of this program is to help broaden representation in science and technology and increase interest in and technological competence for government service. The program addresses a burgeoning need for knowledgeable security specialists by providing a pool of carefully cultivated and highly trained personnel. The project contributes to meaningful curriculum development that can serve as a model to other programs.
