TSU Receives Department of Homeland Security Scientific Leadership Award

Tennessee State University College of Engineering, Technology and Computer Science is preparing graduate students to protect the nation against cybercrimes and intrusions with a recent grant from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The DHS Scientific Leadership Award for Minority Serving Institutions Granting Graduate Degrees in the amount of $301,679 will fund the University’s initiative to develop a joint research and education initiative for interdisciplinary research and education aimed protecting the United States critical infrastructure and key assets.

The project will highlight two DHS-STEM disciplines: Advanced Data Analysis and Visualization and Command Control and Interoperability.

“It is becoming increasingly important that policies are developed to deter the growing threat of cybercrime and state-sponsored intrusions throughout the nation. Through this initiative, we hope to determine which components are likely to be targeted in a potential cyber attack, investigate the intelligence of an attacker’s motivations, and determine how the intelligence improves policies,” explained Dr. Sachin Shetty, assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and principal investigator of the grant.

“The research we conduct at Tennessee State University will be carried out through video analytics, machine learning, and risk analysis research, as well as with resources and facilities that we currently have available at the institution,” said Shetty.

The research will address three inter-connected thrusts (planning, countermeasures and assessment) in the area of cyber security. The planning thrust will focus on models of effective surveillance and allocation of resources under uncertainty. Countermeasures will be responsible for proactive and defensive policies to help deter an attack and identify potential threats. Finally, assessment will be used to develop risk analysis and strategies to create defensive resources that protect critical infrastructure and key assets.

Dr. S. Keith Hargrove, dean of the College of Engineering, Technology and Computer Science, hopes the initiative will develop students’ competency in homeland security in data mining, risk analysis and visual analytics research.

  23. I’d like to express my estimation on the open public proxy. I think as a consequence of spammers proxy concept has grown to be more popular. When the topic was restricted to cracking a few puzzled above the question of anonymity on-line. Today, when more and more people took for spamming blogs, forums, twitter and facebook were required to become familiar on this sphere. This does mean that thousands of people use a open public proxy for spamming and also kill them quickly. Finding a public proxy active today is incredibly difficult. This undermines the the work of many those who are trying to make sense to use general public proxy. It also provides an option for the actual emergence of person hunters proxy.
