In partnership with Ntrepid, the Security Studies Program (SSP) seeks to develop and strengthen the community of student-scholars interested in cybersecurity and subsequently aspires to position its students to be at the forefront of cybersecurity policy research. Participants in the program complete a semester-long research project on salient topics related to cyber research. To support their research, students have access to some of Ntrepid’s unique cybersecurity and analytical solutions. This fellowship poses a unique opportunity for student fellows to contribute to the quality of cybersecurity research, to engage in community building and mentorship, and to build presentation and briefing skills in addition to possible opportunities for publishing their research.
