Mason receives two important NSA designations on Information Assurance Education and Research

Mason has been re-designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education for academic years 2008-2013. The NSA has also started this year the new designation of National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research. Mason is among the first recipients of this new designation. These two significant achievements are a reflection of the quality of the work of the Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS), directed by Professor Sushil Jajodia, and of the faculty in the Volgenau School of IT&E who participate in research and educational programs in Information Security and Assurance.
