Sean J. Geoghegan · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2008
As the world continues to move further into the Information Age, the need to protect information and information systems becomes more critical. UALR is meeting this challenge by providing an Information Assurance Minor program and pursuing designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE). These initiatives are designed to increase the number and skills of information assurance professionals in Arkansas. This paper briefly describes information assurance, the motivation and requirements for the CAEIAE program, and the steps taken at UALR to address the need for skilled information assurance professionals.
