Regional Cybersecurity Workshop
The CyberRISK (Regional Information Security Knowledge-sharing) workshop brings together twenty Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) with diverse characteristics and academic missions, but with a shared need for training, resources, and peer networking . Because cybersecurity postures arise from policy and technical designs, attending institutions bring two participants: one policy lead (CIO or senior leader with policy-setting authority) …
SaTC: TTP: Small: STINGAR – Deployment of highly automated, reliable, and fast cybersecurity threat response systems
Awarding Agency: National Science Foundation Dollar Amount: $499,692 Grant dates: 8/15/18 – 7/31/20 PI: John Board co-PI: Tracy Futhey Modern cybersecurity attacks are often carried out through automated “bots” or agents that systematically attack networks, at scale and in a matter of minutes. This has left organizations scrambling to respond with defenses that must first …
