Cyber Security

Low income countries can have challenges with getting appropriate cybersecurity protective measures in place and to develop much needed cybersecurity talents. To address this concern, George Mason Information Sciences and Technology professor Sherif Hashem was part of a team that produced a report ‘Cyber Incident Management in Low Income Countries.’ The report was funded by Global Affairs Canada, and presented last month in an international webinar by the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise.

Mason students competed in VMI's Cyber Fusion, bringing home the first place trophy. The event is co-hosted by Sen. Mark R. Warner, the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative, and the Virginia Cyber Range.

George Mason University College of Engineering and Computing is to be part of the CyManII network as they were recognized by President Joe Biden and the White House Administration for efforts to train the next generation of manufacturers in cybersecurity.
