Visible to the public Cloud Security

Abstract: There has been a dramatic transformation of IT infrastructure in the past decade with the adoption of cloud computing, where processes that used to run on-site at a company are now migrating into data centers and run on hardware shared with other customers. This migration encompasses computing, storage, and networking. Using hosted infrastructure increases the velocity of deployments, as it allows for rapid up- and down-scaling of systems. Recent advances in virtualization and the advent of software defined infrastructure have accelerated the pace of migration.

Visible to the public Addressing the Diversity Gap in Cybersecurity with K-12 Outreach

Abstract: Finding novel ways to bring cyber security topics to young women and minorities serves to address a recognized national need for security education at the K-12 and undergraduate level, and begins to address the widening gap between the availability and demand for qualified and diverse security professionals. Designing security education interventions that are creative, socially relevant, and accessible to an underrepresented population in cyber security is a challenge that informs how education and outreach can be performed within other contexts.
