What other activites USA is making in order to protect itself from cyber attacks?

There is a growing demand for information security professionals in an era when "malicious vandalism, criminal activity, and international information warfare" all may threaten the nation's information infrastructure, says Dr. Charles Reynolds. He describes how the academic community is collaborating with government and industry to meet that need through an initiative launched in 1997 called the National Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education (NCISSE). The author, 1998 chairman of NCISSE's executive committee, also outlines James Madison University's efforts to respond to emerging national priorities in countering the threats to U.S. information networks.
