The Need

Government, industry, and consumers depend on secure and reliable networks and information systems for daily communications and transactions. Vulnerabilities to cyber attacks could lead to significant disruptions in telecommunications, data storage, banking, utilities, and transportation services. Addressing the cybersecurity threat requires innovative collaboration between IT security professionals, policy makers, business leaders, and supply chain managers, taking into account the roles of developers, vendors, customers, and end users.

An Innovative Approach to Cybersecurity Solutions

Researchers at the University of Maryland are developing new technologies and security strategies to help establish broad-based cybersecurity assurance. The Maryland Cybersecurity Center (MC2) was created as an interdisciplinary research center, bringing together experts from engineering and computer science with colleagues from across campus in fields such as information sciences, business, public policy, social sciences and economics to address our nation's growing needs in cybersecurity. Maryland researchers will apply their expertise in wireless and network security, cryptography, secure software, cyber supply chain security, cybersecurity policy, multimedia forensics, and the economics of cybersecurity, offering an innovative, holistic approach to the cybersecurity threat.
