Message from Director

Dr. Prakash Ranganathan

Cybersecurity is one of the defining issues of our time. Can we keep our networks, devices, and critical systems open, safe, and secure while maintaining personal privacy?

Cutting-edge research activities at the universities and industry-supported social and technical activities - as well as education and workforce development programs - are needed to protect our nation and personal security. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. We organize annual events such as CARS Symposium, C2SR Workshop, and Colloquia Series aims to familiarize ourselves with emerging cyber issues, cyber hygiene, and best practices to avoid exploitations of data or personal identities or asset protection. This is the perfect time of year for individuals, businesses, and other organizations to do their part to protect their networks, devices, and data from those threats. As Information technology advances, several fields: communications technologies, medical devices, manufacturing, banking, agricultural sectors, and intelligent energy grids are changing the landscape of the nation’s critical infrastructure and business networks as we know it. Rapidly evolving technology comes rapidly advancing threats, so we need to be prepared to address them. To conclude, Cyber Security is a shared responsibility, so let’s work together and form new partnerships!
