The criticality and potential harm connected to the confidentiality, accessibility, and integrity of data affect every organization and individual in today’s global environment. Practitioners and users need to recognize the importance of building secure systems and relationships that preserve trust as the foundation to information exchange and commerce. The Master of Science in Information Assurance (MSIA) addresses these concerns and was developed in cooperation with industry leaders from new and emerging fields, including robotics, software engineering, health care, medical providers, government, bioinformatics, and global service providers. This degree has been certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) as mapping directly to the key elements of Information Assurance.
