If you are interested in cybersecurity, consider joining the CAE community.

UMBC is designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance/Cyber Defense Education and Research by the NSA and DHS. The CAE Community site is a good place for information, ideas and events for students, faculty and staff who are interested in information assurance and cybersecurity.

For example, a recent news post has information on an online event on Thursday 17 September 2015 that will include two talks: one from 1-2pm on Digital Investigation and the Trojan Defense and another from 2:15-3:15 on the NSA Codebreaker Challenge.

See the post for more information on the talks and how to particiate online.
