Cybersecurity AI (CAI) Vision
Our Cybersecurity AI (CAI) vision advances cybersecurity and responsible AI through four integrated pillars.
- Researchfocuses on responsible AI, persona and influence verification, zero-trust architectures (ZTA) for emerging technologies, and user-inspired applications in medicine, manufacturing, energy, and transportation.
- Supportcomes from federal and industry sponsors, including NSF programs (Regional Innovation Engines, CPS, SaTC, CICI, CC*, MRI, IUCRC, and AI Institutes in CyberAI), U.S. Cyber Command, AFRL, and ONR. The University Research Partnership (URP) manages technology transfer to industry.
- Collaborationbridges AI and cybersecurity faculty across University of Missouri centers (MCCoE, CERI, CITIL) and partners with regional industries on DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
- Educationbuilds the workforce through NSA CAE-R designation (with CO, CD, and CyberAI), NSF SFS and the DoD Cyber Service Academy, GenCyber, VICEROY, CodeHoppers, NSF REU and RET programs, and cybersecurity certificate and emphasis tracks.
Together, these pillars aim to deliver trustworthy AI-enabled security solutions and a skilled cyber-AI workforce for Missouri and the nation.
