SFS (Scholarship Track): Renewal: An Interdisciplinary Information Assurance Curriculum

布法罗大学（UB）消息，纽约州立大学正在为信息保障（IA）专业的四名本科生和研究生提供额外的支持，作为其现有的联邦网络服务：服务奖学金（SFS）项目的延续。该项目的一个独特之处在于采用跨学科的方法，由计算机科学与工程系、数学系和管理科学系以及法学院共同合作，旨在推动学生成为成功的信息安全问题解决者。计划在本科和研究生阶段同时考虑智能手机的安全性、计算机取证、社交网络的安全性和隐私性，开发具有广泛基础的IA项目。通过利用课程的跨学科性质，该计划将在一个保护伞下教育网络安全专家的技术和管理轨道。UB有15门NSTISSI 4011 &amp； 4013认证的IA课程，这些课程构成了所有IA学者除了基本学位之外的证书基础。UB作为IA研究的学术卓越中心也为研究项目提供了独特的机会，这是证书的一部分。该项目通过提供在跨学科环境中接受培训的高素质IA专业人员，对联邦劳动力的网络安全能力产生了直接影响。pi与该地区的社区学院合作，并举办了几次网络安全意识研讨会。为了帮助增加联邦劳动力中IA专业人员的多样性，该项目将重点放在招募女学生和其他代表性不足的群体成员上。几名少数民族学生在这个项目中实习，还有几名学生毕业于IA培训。这个SFS项目涉及伊利社区学院和Genesee社区学院的参与。

University at Buffalo (UB) - The State University of New York is supporting four additional cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students in Information Assurance (IA) as a continuation of their existing Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program.A unique feature of this program is the interdisciplinary approach by the departments of computer science & engineering, mathematics and management sciences, and the law school with the goal of driving students to become successful INFOSEC problem solvers. It is planned to develop a broad-based IA program by considering security of smartphones, computer forensics and security and privacy of social networks at both undergraduate and graduate levels. By taking advantage of the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum, the program will educate cybersecurity specialists in both technical and managerial tracks under one umbrella. UB has 15 NSTISSI 4011 & 4013-accredited IA courses which form the basis of a certificate that is a requirement for all IA scholars in addition to their basic academic degrees. UB being a Center of Academic Excellence in IA Research also provides unique opportunities for the research project which is a part of the certificate.The project is having an immediate impact on cybersecurity capabilities of the federal workforce by providing highly qualified IA professionals trained in an interdisciplinary setting. The PIs have worked with community colleges in the region and conducted several cyber security awareness workshops. In order to help increase the diversity of IA professionals in the Federal workforce, this program is placing emphasis on recruiting women students and members of other underrepresented groups. Several minority students have interned in this program and several others have graduated with IA training.This SFS project involves the participation of Erie Community College and Genesee Community College.
