The security of the world's critical infrastructures depends on a workforce equipped with expert levels of knowledge and skill in information assurance. And yet, there still exists a shortage of skilled network security personnel.
Aiming to narrow the high-technology skills gap, CIAG works with higher education, industry, and government organizations in the development of information assurance education and training. CIAG provides subject-matter experts and resources (networking systems, other equipment, courseware, etc.) to universities and teams with these educational institutions to hone curricula and better execute their strategies. Industries and governments benefit from an influx of better-prepared college graduates with practical applied knowledge. In turn, these organizations use CIAG to provide feedback to universities and continually improve the educational environment for their students.
As a result, CIAG and its partners in workforce development are increasing the supply and quality of personnel capable of securing critical infrastructures. CIAG increases the expertise of the security workforce by improving information assurance education and training.
Helping universities develop relevant curricula, create world-class educational environments, and provide their students with hands-on learning and mentoring.
Partnering with government and industry entities to assess training needs, develop tailored curriculum, and provide advice to meet workforce training needs.
