VIRGINIA TECH NAMED A NATIONAL CENTER OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN
INFORMATION ASSURANCE EDUCATION

 

The NSA and DHS co-sponsor the CAEIAE program highlighting the importance of the program and responding to the President's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, 14 February 2003, which refers to cyberspace as the nervous system of our Nation's critical infrastructures and directs the Federal government to foster training and education programs to support the Nation's cyber-security needs.

Receiving the NSA/DHS designation is a major step forward for Virginia Tech's efforts in the multi-disciplinary area of Information Assurance.  The designation enables Virginia Tech to apply for scholarships and grants through both the Federal and Department of Defense Information Assurance Scholarship Programs.
