Overview
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley would support the establishment of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the University. The Center would focus on both the "cyber" and "security" components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the "possibility" space of cybersecurity. Therefore, research would focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the Center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity would bring together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It would also engage external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts.
