Information Assurance

Information systems through various types of networks have been indispensable for modern societies in the information age. In order to use and process information with great confidence, both the information systems and networks as well as the information must be trustworthy. To achieve this objective, users need not only dependable and secure information systems and networks, but also effective mechanisms to ensure the integrity and quality of the information. The Information Assurance Program at ASU addresses the broad issues of developing trustworthy information systems, on which people can rely to store, process and transmit information over networks. In addition, IA faculty members are also engaged in both academic and outreach training programs. An IA cluster was established in 2005 to promote IA research and education activities at ASU and to establish an Information Assurance Center to be certified by NSA/DHS as a national Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE).
