Information Assurance @ UNM
Anderson faculty members have developed a program that is unique in the
country, if not the world, with the following characteristics and
benefits to students:
-
An AACSB accredited program with an emphasis in the management
of information security, fraud and forensic accounting and an
interdisciplinary focus on behavioral problems in protecting
information.
-
A designation from the National Security Agency (NSA) and the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a center of academic
excellence in IA (CAEIA) that ensures to our students, peers and
community that the program meets "the criteria which are designed
to measure and recognize the depth and maturity of Information
Assurance (IA) academic programs, and to stimulate the
development of broad-ranging IA programs in order to meet the
varying needs of the student population, including work force
professionals, as well as the employment needs of government and
industry".
-
A partnership with the FBI and its Regional Computer Forensics
Lab (RCFL),
housed at UNM,
through training, and student internships and co-ops.
-
A partnership with the Department of Energy's first satellite office
for the Center
for Cyber Defenders through Sandia National Laboratories.
