International Initiatives
 CyLab is a university-wide, multidisciplinary initiative involving more than 200 faculty, students, and staff at Carnegie Mellon that builds on more than two decades of Carnegie Mellon’s leadership in information technology. CyLab works closely with the CERT ® Coordination Center (CERT/CC), a leading, internationally recognized center of Internet security expertise. Through its connection to the CERT/CC, CyLab also works closely with US-CERT - a partnership between the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) and the private sector to protect our nation's Internet infrastructure.
The CyLab Strategy is to integrate response, prediction, research and development, and education both nationally and internationally and build capacity in:
- Technology – by pursuing an aggressive, highly interdisciplinary research and development agenda that integrates technology, policy, and management
- Human Resources – by educating professionals in Information Technologies, Business, and Policy and by creating “cyber-aware” citizens worldwide
- Industry – by transitioning technologies to large, medium, and small companies and by creating start-ups
Together with a consortium of visionary companies and international partnerships, CyLab will pursue an industry-enabled research and education program.
Research
CyLab addresses a broad range of issues in technology, management, and policy. Research in CyLab is divided into thrusts that address issues for developing the next generation of technologies and systems that will result in measurable, available, secure, trustworthy, and sustainable computing and communications systems. Current CyLab research thrusts are:
- Next-generation response and prediction technologies
- Resilient and self-healing networks and computing systems
- Secure access to physical devices and spaces
- Software measurement and assurance technologies and practices
- Data and information privacy
- Threat prediction modeling
- Business risk analysis and economic implications
- Security in Control Systems
CyLab is home to a National Science Foundation “Cyber Trust” center established in 2004 and is a participant in a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center established in 2005 in the area of trustworthy computing.
Education Programs
CyLab's vigorous education program transitions the center's faculty expertise and research program results to the private and public sectors through education, training, and outreach initiatives. Carnegie Mellon has been designated by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. The Information Networking Institute is the education partner of CyLab. CyLab's education initiatives include:
