WELCOME TO CSIS!

Information systems security is of increasing importance in government, military
and commercial arenas.  The Center for Secure Information Systems (CSIS)
provides a dedicated environment to encourage the development of expertise in
both the theoretical and applied aspects of information systems security.  CSIS
emphasis on information security makes it unique among the institutions of
higher learning in this country.



Established in 1990, CSIS has the distinction of being the first academic center
in security at a U.S. university. CSIS differentiates itself from other centers
by working in a broad spectrum of security topics and issues.  The Center
resides within the College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) at George Mason
University.

George Mason University is a National Center of Academic Excellence in
Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) and an active member of the CAE in Cybersecurity
Community. It is one of the National Security Agency’s original Centers of
Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE-IAE), later
rebranded as CAE in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD).  In 2008, NSA established a new

Assurance Research (CAE-R), later rebranded as CAE in Cyber Research, a
designation that Mason earned for the cutting-edge research being conducted at
CSIS.  Mason is designated for CAE-CD through 2027 and CAE-R through 2028.
