Cyber Security and Intelligence Analysis Research

• The Griffiss Institute for Information Assurance brings together information technology experts from eight affiliated SUNY campuses, government, and business to collaborate on innovative ideas, from artificial immune systems for communications systems to techniques that will identify break-ins before damage is done to a computer.
  
  
• The Center for Information Assurance and Forensics (CIFA), where SUNY researchers are developing new models for education in cyber security and computer forensics, will emulate a teaching and research hospital where educational cases based on real problems can provide learning opportunities for students and practitioners.
  
  
• SUNY researchers working at the Center for Cyber Security at Stony Brook University, recently designated along with University at Buffalo as Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency, are developing a comprehensive suite of techniques aimed at proactive cyber security.
  
  
• Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and European Commission, researchers at the University at Albany's Institute for Informatics, Logics, and Security Studies are developing advanced information-retrieval systems that will allow intelligence analysts to quickly sift through an enormous number of news and field reports, enabling them to better comprehend terrorist behavior and develop effective counter-measures.

Stony Brook University professor and National Medal of Technology recipient, Richard Gambino, is developing the technical capability for direct writing and direct fabrication of sensors and circuits.
