ABOUT THE INFORMATION ASSURANCE COURSEWARE EVALUATION PROGRAM: The IACE Program was established under the authority of the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Committee (NSTISSC), the predecessor to today's Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS). This inter-governmental organization sets policy for the security of national security systems for the Federal Government. Presidential Decision Directive 63 (PDD 63) on Critical Infrastructure Protection, issued in May 1998, highlighted the critical shortage of well-trained information assurance professionals and the need for national standards. In January 2000, the NSTISSC initiated the IACE Program to establish those standards, recognizing that the body of knowledge required by the standards was available from a variety of sources: government, commercial industry, and colleges and universities. |
