Cyber Security

Dylan Knoff, president of Mason Competitive Cyber, recently competed internationally as a member of the U.S. Cyber Team.

The Virginia Cyber Navigator Internship Program (VA-CNIP) has equipped students with the skills to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of election infrastructures. As an intern last summer, information technology major Duong Thuy Nguyen helped secure a rural county’s technology for the upcoming presidential election alongside two George Mason peers. 

Incoming cybersecurity student looks to quickly acclimate to college life, given his familiarity with George Mason through the Early Identification Program and other activities.

The National Security Administration redesignated George Mason University as a National Center of Academic Excellence, a distinction Mason has had since 1999.

George Mason Information Sciences and Technology professor Sherif Hashem was part of a team that produced a report ‘Cyber Incident Management in Low-Income Countries.’

Mason students competed in VMI's Cyber Fusion, bringing home the first place trophy. The event is co-hosted by Sen. Mark R. Warner, the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative, and the Virginia Cyber Range.

George Mason University College of Engineering and Computing is to be part of the CyManII network as they were recognized by President Joe Biden and the White House Administration for efforts to train the next generation of manufacturers in cybersecurity.
