Advanced Computing, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Cybersecurity
Secure, safe, and advanced computing requires integrated expertise in technical skills and human understanding. Baylor cyber researchers focus on each of these aspects. From a technical perspective, automating information-based assessment and awareness with context leads to the development and deployment of resilient systems. From the human perspective, studying corporate and geopolitical policy, as well as behavioral aspects such as trust, social engineering and threat/response leads to better-integrated, safer, and more useful software tools.
