Virginia Tech offers multidisciplinary opportunities in information
security and information assurance research and education. Faculty
from the departments of Computer
Science; Electrical and Computer
Engineering; Finance,
Insurance, and Business Law; and Accounting and Information
Systems participate in these programs. Courses focused on
information security and assurance exist in each of these departments.
These courses are tailored to different audiences: engineers and
computer scientists work with technical issues while students in
business focus more on the management aspects. In addition,
information security is strongly supported throughout the university
by the staff of the Vice President for
Information Technology. Thus, information security is a
cross-college and cross-university initiative at Virginia Tech.
Cyber Security @ Virginia Tech is an information clearinghouse for cyber security research and education at Virginia Tech. This consortium is maintained by the Ted and Karyn Hume Center for National Security and Technology and directly supported by the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Sciences.
