Security at their main campus in Connecticut and also at Sandia National
Laboratory in Livermore, California, and at Sandia National
Laboratory-New Mexico on Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico; and in

principles of the legal charter; presidential executive orders and the
framework which guides the operation of national security agencies.
Specifically, the role and function of the U.S. agencies comprising the
intelligence community will be analyzed with emphasis on Information
Protection and Security. The concentration in Information Protection and
Security will provide a unique approach to addressing the issue of
cyberterrorism and providing assurance of our information management
systems within our national security agencies. Research issues in public
safety emergency management and homeland security will be emphasized.
Finally, corporate security and its new relationship to the role of
homeland and national security will comprise a rich element of the
research inquiry.
