NYU Fights for Cyber Security

… “Some of the biggest consumers of cybersecurity in the world are sitting right here in New York City: the large banks, the financial corporations and these days even the media corporations need cybersecurity,” said Nasir Memon, a professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and associate dean for Online Learning. “We are the capital of these two industries in the world. The applied learning initiative aims at creating programs that educate a workforce skilled in cybersecurity.” The Cyber NYC program will achieve this in three ways — creating jobs, training workers and helping students innovate.
