Yang, Pelletier receive grant for cybersecurity learning program

Jay Yang, professor in the Department of Computer Engineering, principal investigator, and Justin Pelletier, director of the GCI Cyber Range and Training Center, co-PI, received a grant from the National Science Foundation to research and develop a novel dual-track learning program for cybersecurity practitioners. The idea is to instill an entrepreneurial mindset when educating the knowledge and skills (in using data analytics and AI for cyber defense operations) for cybersecurity analysts and engineers (dual roles) to work with each other in response to cyber incidents. This is a collaborative grant with the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education.
