Cyber Assurance takes a systems level approach to focus on cyber security issues in both hardware and software elements
as a whole. This comprehensive approach addresses information security to provide assurance for the safety of mission
critical systems. Students in the program will have the ability to solve security problems based on integrated hardware and
software solutions. The building of secure systems is a national priority echoed by the president as well as numerous other
political and military leaders. The importance of security to our critical information infrastructure cannot be overstated.
