The Information Networking Institute (INI) was established by Carnegie Mellon in 1989 as the nation’s first research and education center devoted to information networking. [cite web |url=http://www.ini.cmu.edu/about/index.aspx |title=About the INI |accessdate=2008-04-17 |format= |work=Carnegie Mellon's Information Networking Institute]

As an integral department of the College of Engineering and a collaboration of the School of Computer Science, the Tepper School of Business, and the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management, the INI’s professional graduate degree programs represent a fusion of technologies, economics and policies of secure communication networks.

The INI also partners with research and outreach entities, namely Carnegie Mellon Cylab, to extend educational and training programs to the broad audience of people using information networking as part of their daily lives. The MySecureCyberspace project is among these programs and engages a number of age groups with educational material about computer security and Internet safety.

Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education

The INI is the educational partner of Carnegie Mellon CyLab , a university-wide, multidisciplinary research center involving more than 200 faculty, students and staff.

Carnegie Mellon CyLab, with the INI as its educational partner, has been designated by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. In that capacity, Carnegie Mellon CyLab and the INI participate in the:

* Federal Cyber Service Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program - Students pursuing graduate degrees in Information Security (MSISTM or MSISPM) are eligible for scholarships under the SFS program.

* Capacity Building Program for Faculty from Historically Black and Hispanic Serving Institutions - Carnegie Mellon CyLab and the INI have developed a month-long, in-residence summer program to help build Information Assurance education and research capacity at colleges and universities designated as Minority Serving Institutions – specifically, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). This program is supported through a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Interdisciplinary Culture

The INI teaching faculty are drawn from:

* The College of Engineering, (Electrical and Computer Engineering, Engineering and Public Policy).

* The School of Computer Science.

* The Tepper School of Business.

* The Heinz School of Public Policy and Management.

* CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC), a center of Internet security expertise operated by Carnegie Mellon at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI).

Global Locations

* Athens Information Technology (AIT) - Athens, Greece
* Carnegie Mellon CyLab Japan - Kobe, Japan
* University of Aveiro - Aveiro, Portugal
* University of Lisbon - Lisbon, Portugal
* Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley - Mountain View, California

Faculty & Researchers

Faculty involved in teaching and advising in the INI programs are conducting research in all aspects of information networking and information security. Affiliated research centers are:

* Carnegie Mellon CyLab
* Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (CERT/CC)

tudent Placement

The INI has graduated over 700 alumni who currently occupy positions in both large companies and small start ups.
