Welcome to the Illinois Center for Information Assurance Education and Research! The Center is a member of the Information Trust Institute (ITI) and coordinates educational activities in information assurance across the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Illinois offers a variety of courses, including online courses for the online master's program, and many research opportunities in information assurance to both undergraduate and graduate students. Our courses are matched to the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) Training Standards.

The Center for Information Assurance Education and Research has been the driving force behind the effort that resulted in the designation of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE) Program, an outreach program initially designed and operated by the National Security Agency (NSA) in the spirit of Presidential Decision Directive 63, National Policy on Critical Infrastructure Protection, May 1998. The goal of the program is to reduce vulnerability in our national information infrastructure by promoting higher education in information assurance (IA), and producing a growing number of professionals with IA expertise in various disciplines. The NSA IA Center was also instrumental in the University of Illinois's subsequent designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research (CAE-R) by the NSA.
