CyLab’s Future Enterprise Security Initiative is underway as the first round of funded proposals has been announced. The 13 projects were presented at Carnegie Mellon University during the FutureEnterprise@CyLab Year One Kick-off Meeting on October 27, 2022.

Each project falls under one of the four FutureEnterprise@CyLab key research thrusts:

  • AI-driven workflows to automate security analysis and response
  • Collaborative capabilities for real-time global visibility for security decision making
  • Foundations for understanding cyber risk
  • Least-privilege-by-design infrastructure

Funding for the projects was made possible by sponsorships from Amazon Web Services, Aryaka Networks, Bosch, Cisco, Microsoft, Nokia Bell Labs, PNC, and VMware. Sponsors actively worked with FutureEnterprise@CyLab Co-Directors Lujo Bauer and Vyas Sekar on proposal requests and reviews.
