The Information Technology and Operations Center (ITOC) is a research center in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, United States Military Academy.  The center is currently directed by Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Conti and is staffed with three additional field grade officers who have each served in the active Army for no less the 15 years and possess a Masters or Ph.D. in computer science.  Also supporting the ITOC include a National Security Agency Fellow and the endowed Adam's Chair in Information Technology.  The center also supports a system administrator, two developers, and an information manager.

The mission of the ITOC is to educate and inspire cadets and faculty in the acquisition, use, management, and protection of information through innovative teaching, curriculum development, research, and outreach to Army, DoD, and federal agencies. The center is responsible for teaching and developing a variety of courses.  Included in these courses is Information Assurance, Information Warfare, Host Forensics, and Network Forensics.

Recent successes and Information Assurance (IA) and Information Warfare (IW) initiatives include:

We strongly believe that collaboration and sharing of ideas is the greatest way to promote a better understanding of Information Assurance.  We are actively involved in the Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education, the IEEE SMC society, and the IFIP TC11.8 working group and look forward to collaborating.
