What would happen to life if some good fairy were to wave a magic wand and cause Slashdot to disappear overnight?

+ - Best Graduate Schools for IT Security 0

Submitted by mallyn on Sunday January 30, 2011 @10:36PM

mallyn writes "Folks:

I would like opinions on what are the best schools for IT Security, especially for computing forensics?

I am also looking for opinion on whether any of the so called for-profit schools that specialize in computing security are worth it or not. I have had people tell me to stay away from those programs.

I have over 20 years of IT experience with a strong background in operating system internals; I am looking for something with a good solid education and not just a degree.

Thank you for your help"
