Center for Information Assurance
As we moved into the next century of information age, increasing network complexity, greater demand for access, and a growing emphasis on the Internet have made networking, mobile computing and information assurance (IA) a major concern for organizations. We at Penn State are continually committing to creative research, innovative teaching, and first-grade outreach services in these key areas, especially in IA. This motivates us to establish a dedicated center in information assurance to plan, coordinate, and promote IA research, education, and outreach at Penn State.
The missions of the Center for Information Assurance are to:
- Conduct a broad-based research on various aspects (theoretical and applied; technical and managerial; wired and wireless, etc.) of information and cyber security
- Educate and train information security professionals through degree and continuing education programs, and to insure that information security awareness is instilled in all Penn State Students
- Provide assistance and technical supports to industry, non-profit organizations, government, and individuals in the information and cyber security area.
