Welcome to the CAE Community of Practice (CoP) for Cyber Research (CAE-R)

 

CAE CoP-R Mission:

“To collaborate with both the CAE-R Community and the NCAE-C Program Management Office (PMO) to build a Cybersecurity Excellence Community of Practice in Cyber Research (CoP-R) in order to gather and share input from the broader community as well as to provide continuous program improvement".

 

CAE-CoP-R Ongoing Initiatives:

Get to Know Your Fellow CAE-R

Starting in March 2023, we are establishing the initiative called: “Getting to Know Your Fellow CAE-Rs”, co-chaired by Bo Yuan of Rochester Institute of Technology and Roberto Perdisci of University of Georgia.

 

Get to Know Your Fellow CAE-R
Join us as we host a monthly series of presentations from our fellow CAE-R institutions to learn about their research foci as well as some of their recent research results. In order to avoid conflicts with the CAE TechTalks, we will hold the "Get to Know Your Fellow CAE-R" events every FOURTH Thursday of each month, from 2pm ET to 4pm ET on Zoom. Preregistration is necessary to attend the events.
