Program Summary
Information assurance includes protection of the integrity, availability, authenticity, non-repudiation, and confidentiality of user data. Undetected loopholes in the network can lead to unauthorized access, editing, copying, or deleting of valuable information. This is where information assurance plays a key role.
Students will gain an appreciation for the difficulty of designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining information systems, services, and software products that are secure and comply with expectations of security and privacy.
