To tackle the challenge of enhancing cybersecurity resiliency on a broader scale, it is essential to collaborate with the industry and employ innovative research methods to develop efficient and relevant tools while promoting public education and awareness. As part of the Understanding Cybersecurity Series (UCS) program at BCCC, we strive to gather, define, and impart fundamental knowledge and understanding to the general public in a manner that is comprehensible, accessible, and inclusive. We aim to support the education and training of IT systems and cybersecurity students, academics, researchers, developers, and industry professionals while disseminating some of the more easily understandable and applicable research findings to the broader community.
