Information Systems Security in a Computer Engineering Technology Program

In a modern Computer Engineering Technology program, a student must have sound training methods pertaining to computer and information security. The National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Standard 4011 can be, partially or totally, implemented into an existing Computer Engineering Technology program. This standard, covering automated information systems (AIS), provides the minimum training standard for information systems security professionals (INFOSEC). Discussion is given pertaining to the 4011 standard which addresses the training, and challenges for incorporating such a standard into a Computer Engineering Technology program. Details will be discussed on how implementation of the standard can be distributed across multiple technical courses in the electrical, computer and programming areas
