IACE information

What is"CNSS"?

The Information Assurance Courseware Evaluation (IACE) Program implements a process to systematically assess the degree to which the courseware from commercial, government, and academic sources maps to the national standards set by the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS).

The IACE Program is currently managed by the National Information Assurance Education and Training Program Office within the Information Assurance Directorate at NSA. The goal of the IACE Program is to expand the use of national standards in information assurance education and training throughout the nation. These standards were developed for the government, but have been kept unclassified to share with the greater IA community.

The National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education Program is an outreach program designed and operated initially by the National Security Agency (NSA) in the spirit of Presidential Decision Directive 63, (http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/white_pr.htm) National Policy on Critical Infrastructure Protection, May 1998. The program is now jointly sponsored by the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in support of the President's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, February 2003. The goal of the program is to reduce vulnerability in our national information infrastructure by promoting higher education in information assurance (IA), and producing a growing number of professionals with IA expertise in various disciplines. See http://www.nsa.gov/ia/academia/acade00001.cfm for details on the program, criteria, and process, as well as a list of the prestigious universities designated as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education.
