Assante Scholar Award
Mike Assante was the founder of the Industrial Control Systems (ICS) curriculum, ICS and SCADA Lead, and Director of Industrials and Infrastructure at SANS Institute. A pioneer in the field of industrial control system cyber security, Mike made a long list of remarkable contributions to the advancement of critical infrastructure system design, threat intelligence, detection, mitigation, and incident response capabilities within the ICS community. Mike passed away on July 5, 2019, but his legacy is one of innovation, relentlessness, and integrity. He had a profound impact on the security of our critical infrastructure. Each year, in recognition of Mike’s legacy, the Assante Scholar award is granted to an eligible candidate from each undergraduate and graduate program with an ICS option.
