The Cal Poly California Cybersecurity Institute (CCI) was featured by the CSU system in two spots on human trafficking at https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/news/Pages/cybersecurity-fights-human-trafficking.aspx and on social engineering at https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/news/Pages/cybersecurity-protects-you-from-devious-people.aspx.
The CCI is a robust, multi-agency effort to protect California from future cyber threats through training and research for government, academia, military, law enforcement, first responders and private entities.
The novel partnership among academia, industry and government offers immediate opportunities for local law enforcement, military personnel and even Cal Poly students as a part of its efforts to equip California to better protect its citizens.
As an extension of Cal Poly’s Cybersecurity Center, the CCI aims to educate the next generation cyber workforce and provide faculty and students with a new, hands-on research and learning environment. The CCI serves as an extended Learn by Doing space for Cal Poly students to explore new cyber technologies and train and test tactics side by side with law enforcement professionals and cyberforensics experts. The program helps shape California’s cyber standards and practices by offering an environment for cyberdefense innovation through advanced study and basic and applied research on emerging issues and technical challenges.
