Student Presentations from CMSC-491/691 Cybersecurity Research (INSuRE)

10:30-12:30 ET Tuesday, 20 December 2022, ITE 229, UMBC

Students from Alan Sherman's fall edition of CMSC-491/691 Cybersecurity Research (INSuRE) will present their research projects through talks and posters.  In this project-based learning course, 18 students carried out original research projects, working collaboratively in three groups.  Each group prepared a written report, poster, and presentation, guided in part by a technical director (TD) and other subject experts.  For more information about the INSuRE network of CAE-R universities, see their website  and an article written by Sherman et al. (IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine, July/August 2017, Vol. 15, Issue 4, pp. 72-78.) The next UMBC edition of INSuRE will take place in fall 2024.  (CAE-R = National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research)
