Cybersecurity Scholarship-for-Service at The Unive

该项目旨在在亚利桑那大学（UA）管理信息系统（MIS）系创建一个新的CyberCorps(R)：服务奖学金（SFS）项目，特别针对来自全州的招聘，特别强调少数民族的招聘和保留。拟议的计划包括几个重要的活动领域，如学生指导和发展；独立研究学习融入项目；学生进度评估；实习和毕业后就业援助；以及项目评估和评价。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至关重要。雇主面临的最大挑战是找到具有正确安全技能的员工，包括操作安全、信息安全风险管理和安全管理实践，从而证明SFS计划的及时性、相关性和有益性。UA的管理信息系统部门以其在全国前五名的管理信息系统项目（美国新闻与世界报道）中连续排名超过20年而闻名。管理项目的方法是跨学科的，旨在支持最广泛的网络安全定义，包括信息保障、网络安全、可信计算、IT风险管理等。该计划旨在解决美国对安全培训的巨大需求。课程包括专门的课程和世界级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重要研究。该项目的最终目标是帮助扩大科学和技术的代表性，提高对政府服务的兴趣和技术能力。该计划通过提供一群精心培养和训练有素的人员，解决了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.
