| RIT launches computer
security program |

Chances
are you’ve been directly affected by a computer virus. The impact of
viruses transmitted via the Internet ranges from inconvenient to extremely
damaging, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to computing
security. Non-existing or underdeveloped computer security measures can
have a dramatic impact on our society’s economic infrastructure. In
response to this emerging technological area, the B. Thomas Golisano College
of Computing and Information Sciences is preparing a new master’s degree
program in computing security and information assurance.
