Who is really behind those political ads on social media?
A CCS research project looks behind the curtain.
NYU’s Center for Cybersecurity (CCS) is an interdisciplinary academic center in which leading edge research, teaching, and scholarship are directed into meaningful real-world technology and policies.
IMPACT
The research and teaching initiatives of CCS faculty and students are shaping and defining the ever expanding boundaries of cybersecurity, while building resilience against emerging threats to security, safety, privacy, software and hardware integrity, and the infrastructure of global modern life. And, its educational initiatives, including certificate and online degree programs, are making it easier for more companies and organizations to embrace important new technologies faster and more efficiently. CCS educational initiative have also been recognized in three academic areas—Cyber Defense, Cyber Operations, and Cyber Research—by the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity.

As an initiative organized at the nexus of technical excellence and common sense policy, the programs of the Center for Cybersecurity have always emphasized the value of solutions crafted from multiple perspectives, be they disciplinary and/or collaborative approaches with industry. Recent research initiatives have included collaborations in emerging medical technologies labs-on-chips, or studies that utilize social science methodologies, such as those conducted by the Cybersecurity for Democracy program. And academic initiatives, such as the M.S. in Cybersecurity Risk and Strategy, prepare those in business, government, and industry to deal with real world cybersecurity issues. Read more here.
EVENTS
The Center for Cybersecurity is home to CSAW, the most comprehensive student-run cybersecurity event in the world. Now entering its third decade, the event has continued to add new challenges that allow students to solve real-world problems. Among the new challenges are one that uses Large Language Models to identify software vulnerabilities, and another that asks participants to design AI-assisted authentication schemes for 3D-printed QR codes. CSAW is overseen by OSIRIS, a student-run cybersecurity research lab that also sponsors weekly Hack Nights to introduce students to a wide variety of complex and immersive topics. CCS also hosts lectures and workshops throughout the year, including the Cybersecurity Lecture Series program, which is sponsored by AIG. Read more here.RESEARCH
Collectively, the CCS faculty can boast of 7 NSF CAREER awards, 3 Jacobs Excellence in Education awards (NYU Tandon faculty honor), 2 “Brilliant 10 under 30” awardees from Popular Science magazine, and 2 IEEE fellows. In collaboration with a cadre of gifted graduate students, the faculty routinely present at top-level conferences on topics ranging from privacy protection to securing hardware elements and software supply chains. CCS faculty lead a number of research labs, including the Secure Systems Laboratory, Laboratory for Agile and Resilient Complex Systems (LARX),the Energy-Aware, Secure, and Reliable Computing Research Group (EnSuRe), and the mLab. These labs allow students to learn by doing, to work alongside distinguished faculty and professionals, and to contribute directly to the growth of the field. Read more here.
