Re: Masters in Information Security/Assurance

[AJ <heuristix () gmail com>]

Georgia Tech has a world class MS in Information Security. It doesn't

quality of education and opportunities first hand. If you're looking
for a technical program GT is the way to go. Being a public
University, it is also very affordable (though I haven't done a
comparative analysis recently).
