  6. The “Gap” • Employers do not see academia producing security practitioners • Knowledge is still “theoretical” • Additional training needed to make student “functional” after hiring • Perception is that we produce “analysts” • Academia not getting clear signals about needs from employers • No “connection point” • Market data tough to come by

  7. Enhancing Educational Experience • Walsh College addressed this “gap” by creating the IAC: Information Assurance Center • Model is based on “pay” for services approach • Leverage students desire for “hands-on” with employers need for “bodies” • Managed like a profit center • Reporting structure supports mission

  8. IAC Focus • Information Assurance Center • Directs all efforts for IA at College • Works by subscription model • Offers faculty expertise, student projects and general assistance for subscribers • Knowledge repository for all IA topics • Lab facilities will be utilized for forensic and specialized client requests in conjunction with student needs
