Mission

This research lab works in the areas of critical infrastructure protection, data and information security and privacy, security and the Internet, and digital forensics and the law.
The mission of the Securing Cyberspace Laboratory is to:

• Expand the research base in information security and privacy.
• Train students in this area.

Outcomes are measured in terms of publications, competitive research grant applications and successes, conference presentations, higher degree by research (HDR) completions, attracting HDR students and attracting industry partners.
The group runs a regular weekly research seminar series and an annual workshop.
