Cybersecurity touches nearly every facet of our society, including national and homeland security, business, law, infrastructure and education. We propose a study to determine the feasibility of a Miami Center for Cybersecurity spanning several academic divisions. We will target multiple audiences, including high-school students, current Miami students, C-suite executives and managers in mid-sized regional firms.
In Phase 1, we will determine the shape of the future program and identify potential partners. In Phase 2, we will recruit a director and faculty lines needed to bring the program to fruition.

Impact:
