The first time I tried to send this I hosed it up so I'm sending thisagain,
sorry to anyone that gets a duplicate copy.I'm attending University of
Advancing Technology for a BS in NetworkSecurity Architecture. It's an awesome
school with online courses (notsure if you can take Grad school online or not).
Fall 2004 — The University of Advancing Technology recently became thefirst
university in Arizona to be certified for its network securitycurricula by the
National Security Agency. In spring 2005, theUniversity will be recognized
along with other certificationrecipients at the CNSS Annual Conference. The
NSA's Committee onNational Security Systems (CNSS) sets standards of excellence
forinformation assurance and security in academia, private industry
andgovernment.
UAT received the recognition by participating in the InformationAssurance
Courseware Evaluation Program (IACEP), a set of standardsdesignated by the
CNSS. UAT's official certification is the "4011 CNSSNational Standard for
Information Systems Security (INFOSEC)Professionals" and "4013 National
Standard For System AdministratorsIn Information Systems Security (INFOSEC),"
two of 5 areas certifiedby the NSA.
To obtain the 4011 CNSS certification, the IACEP requires networksecurity
curricula to meet a set of 250 criteria in the categories ofcommunications,
automated information systems, security, systemoperating environment, National
Security Telecommunications andInformation Systems Security (NSTISS) planning
and management, andNSTISS policies and procedures.
To obtain the 4013 CNSS certification, the IACEP requires networksecurity
curricula to meet a set of 196 criteria in the categories ofcountermeasures,
risk management, policies and administration,safeguards, tools, management,
continuity of operations, configurationmanagement and platform specific
security features.
