[pchelpers] News:MSU at Forefront of Cybercrime Training for Officers

June 17, 2008 7:15AM 



MSU is also working on making control systems more reliable and less
vulnerable to malicious attacks. In 2007, MSU received funding from the
NSA to establish a control systems laboratory. Every critical
infrastructure used today relies on -- and in some cases is controlled
by -- a computer system of some kind.

Mississippi State University (MSU) has established an impressive
reputation in the field of cyber security as evidenced recently by MSU
being named by the National Security Agency (NSA) as one of 23 Centers
of Academic Excellence in Research in Information Assurance Education in
the country. 

"This is a new certification that recognizes security research
capability," said Dr. Ray Vaughn, head of the Center for Computer
Security Research housed in the Computer Science Department. "This
designation puts us in a really good group of other universities that
the national government has sanctioned as universities having a very
strong program in information assurance research and education. We are
very proud of that."

MSU has also started a training center to help law enforcement officers
become skilled at digital forensics.
