正澳门六合彩开奖结果 creating compliance curriculum for NSA
Article By: Clark Leonard
The University of North Georgia (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) has received a $232,000 contract from the National Security Agency (NSA) to develop a graduate and undergraduate compliance curriculum that 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 will then teach and that the agency can make available to other government entities.
The compliance certificate programs focus on preparing professionals to become certified in compliance and to work in the compliance area in government agencies, particularly the NSA.
正澳门六合彩开奖结果 will offer the undergraduate and graduate certificates as part of the curriculum within the Mike Cottrell College of Business (MCCB). The curriculum will be shared with other schools and agencies wanting to implement the NSA-backed coursework. Dr. Mary Gowan, dean of the MCCB, is the principal investigator. She has assembled a large 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 team to assist in delivering this project.
In addition to MCCB faculty from the computer science and information systems, management and marketing, and accounting and law departments, the interdisciplinary project involves faculty and staff from the College of Health Sciences and Professions, College of Education, Information Technology Services, Business and Finance, the BB&T Center for Ethical Leadership, and Human Resources at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果.
"The development of this compliance curriculum builds on areas of strength and staff and faculty expertise at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果, and it has the potential to serve a much broader need than just the NSA," Dr. Chaudron Gille, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 provost, said. "Compliance issues are multifaceted and relevant in all industries and government agencies."
We are grateful for the trust the NSA has placed in us to create this curriculum to prepare students for careers in the fast-growing field of compliance. We have put together a team of faculty and practitioner subject matter experts who will develop high-quality certificate programs.

正澳门六合彩开奖结果 aims to offer the compliance certificates with online and in-person-options by spring 2023.
"We are grateful for the trust the NSA has placed in us to create this curriculum to prepare students for careers in the fast-growing field of compliance," Gowan said. "We have put together a team of faculty and practitioner subject matter experts who will develop high-quality certificate programs."
Charlotte Wade, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's chief compliance officer, is excited to be on the curriculum team. She said it's too easy for most employees to view compliance as a hammer of enforcement.
Wade said this curriculum will show the broader importance of thinking of compliance proactively rather than reactively.
"It's an amazing opportunity for 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 as a leadership institution to provide a curriculum for the NSA because the emphasis on compliance is not going away," Wade said. "The more prepared we are and our students are as they enter the workplace, the better off we will be. This program will help us develop our students into leaders in the field."
This NSA contract builds on 正澳门六合彩开奖结果's already strong relationship with the federal agency. 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 is designated by the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense. And in summer 2022, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 will host its sixth GenCyber Warrior Academy for high school students and second cyber academy for middle and high school teachers thanks to National Security Agency (NSA) grants totaling $265,000.
Additionally, Christopher Locke, academic liaison to 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 from the NSA, noted that the NSA engagement with 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 is "directly attributable to 正澳门六合彩开奖结果’s outstanding performance in the NSA Codebreaker Challenge these past few years." The 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 CyberHawks Codebreaker Challenge team placed first out of over 500 schools in 2019 and 2020, and second out of over 600 schools in 2021 in the competition.
