Arizona is emerging as a wellspring of leadership and employment in cybersecurity. With billions of records being breached, there’s a critical need for more advanced data protection capabilities driving demand for a skilled labor force and more advanced training and expertise from leading educational institutions. The growing problem is drawing attention to institutions like ASU, which has a high national ranking for cybersecurity research. Adam Doupé, an associate professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, and director of the ASU’s Center for Cybersecurity and Trusted Foundations, has seen his research team win major support to expand its work in pursuit of cybersecurity advances.
