Systems assurance standards and processes
Vladan M. Jovanovic · 2008
In this paper we present an example of a senior/graduate level course focused on standards and processes in Information Assurance. Our claim is that this course design can be used as a model for a capstone course in Information Assurance. The premise is that Standards represent a knowledgebase enabling a comprehensive treatment of Assurance Processes at the system level, and that, consequently, a standards based approach is appropriate for a capstone concentrated on using lessons learned. Our capstone course intent is the education of Information Systems Security Officers (ISSO) in compliance with NSA training standard requirements CNSS 4014, and a standards-based course fits that requirement.
