 Security is a big issue that affects everyone now and will become even more important in the future as the Internet of Things grows. This challenge is now beyond security. We need design for security. Nearly every day we hear about a new cyber attack impacting businesses and often thousands of individuals. To exacerbate this situation we have a well-documented cyber security talent shortage. It is time for us to accelerate the availability of security-minded professionals that can meet this challenge. Cyber security is a very complex domain and it warrants systems thinking. Understanding how this network of interconnected nodes with relationships between them, how they affect each other. Systems thinking enables at least a doorway for people who are used to approaching it from a singular perspective to start understanding the implications of the other nodes in the network. Following this systems approach, Purdue and Intel are offering a badge certification program for students and industry professionals. This digital badge online is a remarkable collaboration between Intel and Purdue's industrial engineer. The topic is important and timely. The approach is refreshing and broad. And the collaboration between industry and university is innovative in the future of online education. Four courses will be offered starting August 2018 to Purdue and other university undergraduates and industry professionals. Purdue and Intel plan to expand this program into a certification program to train engineers and others in designing security to meet current and future demands. If you look at how students are learning design right now, what they're learning is going to carry them through life. And so these design habits are really critical to create now, especially with security. Because security is going to become more relevant even as we move forward. As the world becomes more connected, security vulnerabilities become more pervasive and impactful in almost all walks of life. As a Fortune 50 employer, Intel can clearly see that the supply of properly trained security professionals is at meeting demand. The design for security badge program is intended to close that gap. Students going through this program will have internship opportunities at Intel and with other industry participants. Integrating theory with practice and then eventually leveraging that critical experience into exciting and challenging career opportunities.
