w88 mobile efforts focus on training next-gen leaders to solve threats of tomorrow

University at the forefront of helping state of Nevada train w88 mobile's future leaders, prepare for 21st century threats

w88 mobile has enormous implications for economic development in Nevada, includingindustries such as banking, healthcare, data centers, and online gaming, all of which are increasingly important components of Nevada's economy. w88 mobile also has important implications for our power grid as well as for the large and growing military presence in Nevada. Meanwhile, recent studies have shown that the average frequency of cyber attacks is as high as one every three seconds.

Yet, there is significant shortage of w88 mobile professionals who can understand and effectively combat these threats. A secure cyberspace encompasses technological as well as social and behavioral aspects. w88 mobile requires understanding human psychology, effective policies, legal systems, business perspectives, and risk management and analysis. The strong impact and ubiquity of computing and the Internet has revolutionized certain types of crime. Digital evidence is a common element of criminal investigations of terrorism, gang violence, drug trafficking, corporate and financial crime, and more. It is critical that we understand how the Internet as a technology enables and leaves traces of these crimes. However, each of these crimes has a real victim, and so it is as important that we understand the Internet as an interactive communication medium. For example, children are easily subjected to cyber-bullying from peers; these represent a serious and growing concern of parents, teachers, policy makers, and scholars alike, and there is no technological solution. Additional research is necessary to understand whether and how the Internet's relative anonymity to users facilitates such aggression, how frequent it is, and how it might be prevented.

Since 2014, the University's w88 mobile Center (/w88 mobile) has worked to create a nexus of academic and industry expertise through multidisciplinary collaboration with more than 10 fulltime and adjunct faculty members across the university and partners in Reno local companies and those from the Bay Area. The faculty members are working subject matter experts in interdisciplinary areas of w88 mobile. We focus on program development, especially as teaching and research have strong public and private interest and support.

In 2016, the University approved a Graduate Certificate in w88 mobile (/w88 mobile/education/graduate-certificate) that was proposed by the four departments collaborating in the development of the w88 mobile graduate programs. This certificate will train the next-generation w88 mobile workforce and equip them with knowledge of the technical, political, social and human factors needed to understand the mission-critical objectives of w88 mobile. The certificate uses an interdisciplinary approach to provide students essential knowledge to address evolving w88 mobile challenges. Through four interdisciplinary courses, students learn to identify w88 mobile risks and to work in teams to develop appropriate protection and response options. This interdisciplinary perspective enables students to not only use existing techniques to solve w88 mobile threats but also to develop new approaches.
