Presentation
Awareness, training, and education are part of the learning
continuum that helps foster a “culture of security”
where every individual and organization recognizes their responsibilities.
According to the White House, “Securing cyberspace is an extraordinarily
difficult strategic challenge that requires a coordinated and focused
effort from our entire society – the federal government, state
and local governments, the private sector and the American people.”
The National Cyber Security Alliance is implementing one of the
priorities in the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace by promoting
a national awareness program to empower all Americans to secure
their own parts of cyberspace, including homes and schools. This
keynote address will describe the application of the learning continuum
to the issues of cyberethics, cybersecurity, and cybersafety.
Dr. Vic Maconachy
The Critical Role of Education in Information Assurance
Speaker Bio
Dr. Maconachy currently serves as the program manager of the National
Information Assurance Education and Training Program (NIETP) within
the National Security Agency. He is implementing a multidimensional,
interagency program which provides direct support and guidance to
the services, major DoD components, Federal agencies and the greater
national Information Infrastructure. This program fosters the development
and implementation of Information Assurance training programs, as
well as graduate and undergraduate education curricula. In this
capacity he serves on several national level government working
groups, as well as in an advisory capacity to several universities.
In this position, Dr. Maconachy is the principal architect for several
national Information Assurance training standards in the classified
community, which are developed by the Awareness, Training and Education
Working Group of the Committee for National Security Systems. Dr.
Maconachy was appointed by The White House to Co-chair of the Critical
Information Coordination Committee for Personnel and Training. This
Committee prepared the personnel and training portion of The President’s
National Plan for Information Systems Protection (issued in January,
2000). On March 1, 2002, Dr. Maconachy was appointed to chair the
Education Standing Committee of The Presidents’ CIP Board.
In July 2001, Dr. Maconachy’s program was named as Executive
Agent for The Department of Defense-wide Information Assurance Scholarship
Program. Dr. Maconachy is the recipient of the prestigious Department
of Defense Meritorious Service Award.
Presentation
In today's cyber environment it is increasingly clear that
protecting critical information infrastructures requires three countermeasures
all working in concert: Technology, Operations and People. The people
part is the most critical, and is recognized by The President as
a national priority in his National Strategy for Cyber Protection.
We will explore what can and needs to be done at the k-12 as well
as higher education arenas.
