As global networks expand the interconnection of the world’s technically complex infrastructure, communication and computing systems gain added importance. Information security has gained in importance as a professional practice, and it has also emerged as an academic discipline. Ongoing security events, such as malware attacks and successful hacking efforts, have pointed out the weaknesses inherent in unprotected systems and exposed the need for heightened security of these systems. In order to secure technologically advanced systems and networks, both education and the infrastructure to deliver that education are needed to prepare the next generation of information technology and information security professionals to develop a more secure and ethical computing environment. Therefore, improved tools and more sophisticated techniques are needed to prepare students to recognize the threats and vulnerabilities present in existing systems and to design and develop secure systems.
