A NOTE TO INSTRUCTORS

This two-volume text will serve the interests of practitioners and teachers of information assurance. The fourth edition of the Handbook was well received in academia; at least one quarter of all copies were bought by university and college bookstores. The design and contents of this fifth edition have been tailored even more closely to meet those needs as well as the needs of other professionals in the field.

University professors looking for texts appropriate for a two-semester sequence of undergraduate courses in information assurance will find the Handbook most suitable. In my own work at Norwich University in Vermont, Volume I is the text for our IS340 Introduction to Information Assurance and Volume II is the basis for our IS342 Management of Information Assurance courses.

The text will also be useful as a resource in graduate courses. In the School of Graduate Studies at Norwich University, we use both volumes as required and supplementary reading for our 18-month, 36-credit Master of Science in Information Assurance program (MSIA).

I will continue to create and post PowerPoint lecture slides based on the chapters of the Handbook on my Norwich University Web site for free access by anyone applying them to noncommercial use (e.g., for self-study, for courses in academic institutions, and for unpaid industry training); the materials will be available in the IS340 and IS342 sections:
