Renewal: University of Idaho Scholarship for Servi

爱达荷大学（University of Idaho）提议在其现有的网络安全网络军团(R)服务奖学金（SFS）项目中增加四个新的本科生和研究生群体，这些学生具有强大的网络防御背景；法医和态势感知；安全且有弹性的架构、网络和系统；以及嵌入式、工业和电力控制系统和设备的安全性。该项目将通过为毕业生提供通用计算和安全技能，对联邦劳动力的信息保障和取证能力产生直接影响。开发和维护信息和操作技术或实时控制系统的公共和私人组织都迫切需要具有强大网络安全背景的毕业生。UI的SFS项目的毕业生提高了联邦，州，部落和地区政府安全系统的安全性和弹性。该计划具有全面的教育方法，具有强大的计算基础和实践经验；该项目的跨学科性质有助于吸引女性和少数民族从事网络安全专业。该项目旨在培养具有强大领导能力和公共服务承诺的熟练信息保障和取证专业人员。学生将作为暑期实习生获得实践经验，毕业后将加入联邦机构或其他符合条件的实体。从UI的SFS项目的毕业生有很强的基础知识植根于数学和科学理论，通过动手实验室学习的实用技能，并以研究为导向的创新方法来解决问题。他们还将培养在联邦政府工作中有效的表达、沟通和管理技能。这使他们能够设计、开发和维护对政府、数字经济和国家安全至关重要的安全、有弹性的计算系统。通过将来自多个学科的学生分组到相同的实验室和研讨会，该计划提供了多样性和协同作用，使参与者能够欣赏网络安全的多方面，包括从软件，硬件和管理的角度。SFS学者在各种网络配置（包括可重构攻击防御场景、实时嵌入式系统以及监控和数据采集（SCADA）系统）方面具有动手实验室经验。

The University of Idaho (UI) proposes to add four new cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students to their existing CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program in cybersecurity with strong background in cyber defense; forensics and situational awareness; secure and resilient architectures, networks, and systems; and security of embedded, industrial, and power control systems and devices. The project will have an immediate impact on the information assurance and forensics capabilities of the federal workforce by providing graduates with general computing and security skills. Both public and private organizations developing and maintaining information and operational technology, or real-time control systems, are in urgent need of graduates with a strong cybersecurity background. The graduates from the UI's SFS program increase the security and resiliency of federal, state, tribal, and territorial governments' security systems. The program has a holistic educational approach with strong computational foundations and hands-on experiences; and the interdisciplinary nature of the program aids in attracting women and minorities to the cybersecurity profession. The program is graduating skilled information assurance and forensics professionals with strong leadership skills and a commitment to public service. The students will serve as summer interns to gain practical experience and will join federal agencies or other eligible entities upon graduation. Graduates from the UI's SFS program have a foundational knowledge strongly rooted in mathematics and scientific theory, a practical skillset learned through hands-on laboratories, and a research-oriented innovative approach to problem solving. They will also develop the presentation, communication, and management skills necessary to be effective in the federal workforce. This enables them to design, develop, and maintain secure and resilient computing systems critical to the government, digital economy, and national security. By grouping students from multiple disciplines into the same labs and seminars the program provides a diversity and synergy that enables participants to appreciate the multifaceted aspects of cybersecurity, including perspectives from software, hardware, and management. The SFS scholars have hands-on laboratory experiences with a variety of network configurations including reconfigurable attack-defend scenarios, real-time embedded systems, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
