The Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) are vulnerable to the same kinds of threats to its information infrastructure as the rest of the industrialized nations. As an officer in the RSNF, I am familiar with the special information assurance needs and interests of my organization, and thus, I am in a position to leverage my formal Information Technology Management (ITM) education to address these needs. The United States has played a prominent lead role in establishing many educational curriculums in the area of information assurance (IA). Though the breadth and depth of educational curriculum and resource materials (i.e., universities, certification programs, computer-based training, Web content, etc.) is impressive; the shear volume can be overwhelming and intimidating to the novice. What is needed is a methodical survey of the main IA themes that are currently emphasized by the most prominent and respected institutions offering IA training and education. This survey needs to be cross-referenced to identify core areas, and any other didactic information (e.g., models, rules, best practices, etc.) that might prove useful in developing the final training product for the RSNF.
