The Cybersecurity program at 快猫成版视频 is a nationally recognized
program with a strong focus on innovative research. The program is led by experienced
faculty members who are dedicated to developing the next generation of cybersecurity
professionals while also conducting world-class research. KSU's Cybersecurity program
offers various degree programs, including undergraduate and graduate degrees, and
certifications in different aspects of cybersecurity. The program's research focuses
on developing new techniques and tools to safeguard computer systems from cyber-attacks,
including areas such as digital forensics, malware analysis, threat intelligence,
intrusion detection, and vulnerability assessment.
The institute also sponsors the biannual Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research
and Practices (JCERP), an online peer-reviewed journal promoting scholarship among
faculty teaching and researching Cybersecurity topics. JCERP seeks to collect and
publish high-quality research, perspective, and best practice articles on the understanding,
investigation, conduct and instruction of security related topics written specifically
for an academic audience. JCERP articles are published online once fully accepted
and approved.
Conference on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice
The annual Conference on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice (CCERP) is
held at KSU and is hosted by CCE. This event, which takes place every Fall, serves
as a platform for bringing together academia and industry to discuss topics relevant
to cybersecurity education and research. CCERP is a unique opportunity for faculty
members to share and learn about traditional academic research as well as industry
presentations on the latest trends and best practices in cybersecurity.
