The tools methodologies and frameworks developed and deployed to better understand and address these challenges have helped shape academic and policy discourse across a range of fields including cybersecurity. For twenty years the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research CACR has been a leading interdisciplinary research center. Its mission is to provide people with the knowledge and skills they need to manage cybersecurity risks in complex challenging environments where standard cybersecurity practices do not suffice. It does so through a combination of thought leadership applied research training and education and extensive interdisciplinary collaboration across a range of critical infrastructure providers. The Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics is a network of universitybased cybersecurity clinics and allies working to advance cybersecurity education for public good. The Consortium serves as a forum for faculty students trainers and advocates to network and share knowledge expand the reach of cybersecurity clinics and lower the barriers for other institutions of higher education to successfully establish their own clinics.
