SPONSORED BY

Be a leader in the cyber security revolution The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering CSAW Cyber Security 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 cyber security and engage in ongoing research projects as part of a three-year program sponsored by the National Science Foundation, in conjunction with the NYU Schoo of Engineering’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

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 the School of Engineering.

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 School of Engineering professors. For more information about the Information Systems and Internet Security (ISIS) laboratory, visit: isis.poly.edu.)

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 the NYU School of Engineering, attracts thousands of students and builds a community that is passionate about cyber security.
