The National Cybersecurity Consortium (NCC) has announced a slate of successful project applications as part of its second annual Call for Proposals.
It is evident from the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute’s (CPI) 7th Annual Conference that securing our digital future depends on the emerging and next waves of academic researchers in the field of cybersecurity and privacy.
Heat waves and record-breaking temperatures did not hold these University of Waterloo students back from excelling in their academics.
The Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute (CPI) is one of eight interdisciplinary projects that have been selected to advance research and initiatives to address the world’s most pressing challenges such as cybersecurity.
Congratulations to Matthew Regehr, a PhD student in computer science, on receiving the University of Waterloo Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute’s (CPI) Graduate Excellence Scholarship.
Thanks to the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute (CPI), five scholars earned a $1,000 scholarship each in their respective courses for the Winter 2025 semester.
Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute holds first-of-a-kind academic conference and poster session catered to master’s and PhD students beyond Kitchener-Waterloo region.
As 2024 comes to a close, here is a brief recap on what has been a very impactful year for the University of Waterloo’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute.
We are thrilled to share that CPI has secured over $1.5M in funding through the National Cybersecurity Consortium | Consortium national pour la cybersécurité (NCC)! This achievement recognizes members of CPI as leaders in cybersecurity research and further propels the University of Waterloo in making global impact through collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches.
A primary objective of the conference was to shine a light on Waterloo graduate students, future leaders of cybersecurity research, through a poster session competition generously sponsored and judged by Rogers at the event. Out of 15 impactful research project submissions, the top prize of $1,000 was awarded to Abdulrahman Diaa, a PhD student in computer science, for his work on Optimizing Adaptive Attacks Against Content Watermarks for Language Models. Second place went to Sina Kamali ($500) and third place ($300) was shared by Yuzhe You and Jarvis Tse with prizes funded by CPI.
