Security education for times of netwar and peace
Dockal J. In Security education and critical infrastructures. Norwell, MA,  Kluwer Academic Publishers,  2003. Type:Book Chapter
Date Reviewed: Nov 24 2003

Dockal reviews the efforts in information assurance and security (IA&S), as well as ancillary areas such as cryptology, in the Czech Republic by providing an overview of the curricula in this area for the major Czech universities at Prague, Brno, Plzen, and Ostrava. The author identifies a discrepancy between sound theoretical foundations and limited applicative education, which is considered inadequate preparation for positions in the increasingly technologically advanced armed forces.

Subsequently, the author discusses the more needs-oriented IA&S education, including undergraduate and graduate curricula at the Brno Military Academy, provided by both command-oriented and technical tracks, and the integration of continued education programs. A core element of this program is the use of capstone exercises simulating information warfare scenarios, an approach that has also been applied successfully at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
