FAITS

Faulkner's Advisory for IT Studies (FAITS) is designed to help students and instructors learn and keep pace with the emerging technologies and products driving the IT, security, and communications industries.

SMP

Also from Faulkner, Security Management Practices (SMP) offers real-world reports for helping IT and security students and faculty understand today's complex security and business challenges. Each month, a new report exploring critical issues in all aspects of security is released.  SMP covers issues like: ethical hacking, effective use of encryption technology, and information security management.
