Abstract

Information assurance (IA) education is increasingly important and widespread, and institutions are putting more resources into it and focusing their curricula around it. The US Military Academy has gone even further by infusing its full curriculum--even for nontechnical students--with IA concepts. USMA's "awareness posture" is driven by the momentum created by integrating educators, implementers, and learners into IA education, policy, and procedure planning.
