University of Washington Scholarship for Service Program (CIAC)

华盛顿大学信息保障与网络安全中心（CIAC）通过一项新的联邦网络服务：服务奖学金（SFS）计划为三批研究生提供支持。这些学生正在掌握管理云安全所需的新技能。位于世界排名前二十的大学之一，这个现有的学术项目已经在两个信息保障（IA）项目中培养了200多名毕业生。SFS学生正在与太平洋西北国家实验室的网络安全理事会合作参与研究；一个活跃的蜜网项目分会；应用物理实验室研究恶意软件和僵尸网络。该计划的其他优势包括：五个IA证书；数十名兼职教师和从业人员在校园内提供跨学科的网络安全课程；并与Agora和Infragard （FBI）合作。SFS项目通过为毕业生提供云计算和智能电网安全方面的专业知识，对联邦劳动力的网络安全能力产生了直接影响。华盛顿大学超过50%的学生是女性，超过30%的学生来自不同种族；这种多样性反映在招聘工作上。该中心积极与亚马逊、波音、博思艾伦和微软等在云计算开发方面发挥重要作用的组织合作。该计划的独特定位是专注于云安全管理。

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.
