Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity Open House

What will cybersecurity mean in the year 2020?

Join us at a reception to learn more about the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity.

The Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC), a new research center at the UC Berkeley School of Information, invites students and faculty to an open-house reception. Light lunch will be served.

Come and learn more about this exciting new research hub, which is broadening understanding of the future of cybersecurity in all its contexts. Cybersecurity has the potential to be the master problem of the internet era, and CTLC is designing solutions that apply wherever humans and machines interact.

That mission is not just a question of engineering or computer science; it is also becoming intrinsic to economics, political science, law, anthropology, psychology, and nearly every other domain.

The Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity was founded through a generous grant from the Hewlett Foundation. Our goal is to advance a broad, cross-disciplinary research framework that will help governments, corporations, and other institutions — as well as individuals — better prepare for the challenges of cybersecurity in the 21st century.

The CLTC will be organizing conferences, workshops, and other events; developing curricula; and funding research to promote broad understanding of the future of cybersecurity, over the next five years and beyond. Possible research questions include:

• What are the implications of digital currencies on the global economy?
• Where should policy-makers focus their efforts first to create a robust national cybersecurity infrastructure?
• What are the implications of the “Internet of Things” for socioeconomic disparity?
• What are the cognitive foundations of “usability”, and how can human-machine interfaces be improved for security?
