About the Information Assurance Center

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 Center is also actively engaged in technology transfer and continuing education for industry as well as assisting IA educational activities in community and minority colleges.
