BE A LEADER IN THE CYBERSECURITY REVOLUTION The NYU-Poly CSAW Cybersecurity Summer Research and Training Program provides a unique opportunity for two- and four-year computer science college faculty to receive instruction in the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity and engage in ongoing research projects as part of a three-year program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The accepted faculty are also expected to establish a student team to participate in the national CSAW Capture the Flag challenge. This event, which is conducted annually by NYU-Poly, attracts thousands of students and builds a community that is passionate about cybersecurity. Ten qualified college faculty members will be selected for two weeks of intensive instruction in the basic concepts of cybersecurity followed by four weeks of research engagement at NYU-Poly. The program takes place daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm. All evenings and weekends are free for faculty to explore New York City and the surrounding Downtown Brooklyn area. Over the remaining academic year, faculty and their students, will engage in research projects with NYU-Poly professors. For more information on last years CSAW event, visit: www.poly.edu/csaw2012
