About This Group

Cybersecurity is one of UMBC’s strategic priorities and critical to Maryland and the nation. As a leader in cybersecurity, UMBC possesses broad capabilities and expertise in this constantly changing domain. More importantly, as a reflection of cybersecurity itself, our interests in cybersecurity are not just technical but include the social, behavioral, operational, and economic elements of cybersecurity as well.

The UMBC Cybersecurity Institute (UCI) provides unified interdisciplinary academic and research leadership, partnership, innovation, and public outreach in this critical discipline. Through the UCI, UMBC is one of the few universities in the United States designated both a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) and a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Research (CAE-R) by the National Security Agency. Additionally, UMBC has been a leading participant in the NSF Federal CyberCorps/SFS program since 2012.
