National Information Assurance Training and Education Center
Literacy, Awareness, Training and Education
Because there is no patch for ignorance
ABOUT US
NIATEC, is a consortium of academic, industry, and government organizations to improve the literacy, awareness, training
and education standards in Information Assurance.
As the federally designated cornerstone for essential education and training components of a strong Information Assurance initiative, the mission is to establish an effective Information Assurance infrastructure for academic, industry and government organizations.
NIATEC is associated with Idaho State University Center of
Academic Excellence. The Centers of Academic Excellence and NIATEC are components of a plan to establish a federal cyber-corps to defend against cyber-based disruption and attacks. Key to building such a cyber-corps is the implementation of robust graduate and undergraduate curricula in Information Assurance.
Idaho State University was designated a National Center of
Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency. It has been recognized for a significant
contribution in meeting the national demand in Information Assurance
education. It serves to develop professionals with information
assurance expertise in various disciplines, and ultimately contributes
to the protection of the national information infrastructure.
The National Information Assurance Training and Education Center
has been active in development of training standards associated with
both the National Institute of Standards Publication 800-16 and the
National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security
Committee (NSTISSC) 4011, 4012, 4013, 4014, 4015, and 4016 documents.
Idaho State University is a founding and sponsoring member of the
Colloquium for Information Systems Security
Education. We subscribe to and support the (ISC)2 code of ethics. The
Information Security Library is maintained by The Center for Decision
Support at Idaho State University. The
words and definitions contained in the glossary are taken from numerous
sources.
