About Us

The mission of the Cybersecurity Center is to facilitate innovation in research and cross-unit curriculum, teaching, and programming related to cybersecurity at William & Mary (W&M). The Center is situated centrally in the office of the Provost, with its strongest affiliation being to the departments of Computer Science and Data Science in the new school of Computing, Data Science, and Physics, but also embracing other units, including the William & Mary Law School, and the Mason School of Business.
