WSU joins battle against hacking with new training

((Excerpt))

Stolen credit card numbers. Compromised software. Hardware ridden with trap doors.

Wright State University’s Institute of Defense Studies and Education (IDSE) is joining the fight for cyber security with new post-graduate training programs in 2012.

The institute will offer a six-month “cyber security” certificate and a yearlong post graduate program starting in January. Sixty students — graduate students or professionals with roles in information and computer security — will be chosen for a program that will blend online study with limited weekend residency periods at Wright State.
