About Us
Our Mission
The mission of the Center for Cyber Security Studies is to enhance the education of midshipmen in all areas of cyber warfare, to facilitate the sharing of expertise and perspectives in cyber warfare from across the Yard, to provide a streamlined means of identifying priorities, to enhance inter-disciplinary research in cyber warfare, and to disseminate information, harmonize efforts and shape a common framework for cyber warfare related efforts at USNA.
The Center for Cyber Security Studies will provide the support necessary for the proposed curricular and professional reforms across the Naval Academy, and for advancing the quality of education of Naval Academy graduates in all areas of cyber warfare. This center will encompass support for all programs that contribute to knowledge, study and research of cyber warfare at the Naval Academy.
