CyMOT program gets new funding for manufacturing security
Cybersecurity for Manufacturing Operational Technology
Nilanjan Banerjee, professor of computer science and electrical engineering (Marlayna Demond '11/UMBC
UMBC researchers designed the Cybersecurity for Manufacturing Operational Technology (CyMOT) program to help manufacturing professionals grow their cybersecurity skills, protecting the sector from cyber threats and increasing their career opportunities. Now, the program has received significant additional funding to expand its impact.
The CyMOT program -- launched in 2020 in collaboration with the Chicago-based MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) and UMBC Training Centers -- has been renewed with a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense's Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC). The funding will support the implementation of new training curricula around machine learning and cybersecurity.
"In recent years, there has been a large number of cyber attacks on the manufacturing sector," says Nilanjan Banerjee, professor of computer science and electrical engineering and the grant's principal investigator. To address this rising concern, Banerjee explains, CyMOT aims to "make sure that people that are in the manufacturing business can get trained and upskilled in cybersecurity concepts around manufacturing."
Read more about the CyMOT program in this UMBC News article.

Students Present Cybersecurity Research Projects; Tue 12/20
Information Security Research & Education (INSuRE) project
The UMBC Cyber Defense Lab presents
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)
