An NSF Federal CyberService Award to the UB Center of Excellence in Information Systems Assurance Research and Education (CEISARE) will fund full scholarships for 10 undergraduate and graduate students over the next four years. The award is part of a national effort to train cybersecurity professionals to fight cyberterrorism and strengthen Internet security.
Through CEISARE, directed by CSE Professor Shambhu Upadhyaya, students will receive training in fields from computer science to management and law. Scholarship recipients are guaranteed work with the federal government for two years after graduating, in the Treasury Department, the National Security Administration, or elsewhere.
Upadhyaya will run the program with Professors H.R. Rao (Management), Thomas Cusick (Mathematics), and Mark Bartholomew (Law).
