The FBI has chosen the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to host a new law enforcement cybersecurity research center.More here.
The bureau said it would provide $3 million to support the first two years’ operation of the National Center for Digital Intrusion Response. The new center represents an expansion of the FBI’s existing work with the university, which also receives funds from other federal agencies to carry out cybersecurity research and development.
The bureau said the state university’s IT security scholars would work with FBI cybersecurity specialists to understand what new capabilities are required to better detect and investigate cyberattacks, develop new tools and ensure that FBI agents in the field can use them effectively.
