The State of
Cybersecurity |
|
Cyber crime is on the rise, and the need to safeguard against cyber security
attacks is real – and growing. No industry is exempt and the demand for experts
who can battle using bits and bytes has never been greater. Maryland has become
a hub of cybersecurity activity and the university is leading the way.
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s
Robert H. Smith School of Business, Sandor Boyson talks about the critical need
for cybersecurity.
Boyson is research professor and co-director of the Supply Chain Management
Center at the Smith School. He is also the academic co-director of a new
cybersecurity certificate program the Smith School is launching in partnership
with the university’s A. James Clark School of Engineering and the School of
Public Policy.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School
of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on
the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews
with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of
business leaders.
