NCSU'S SCIENCE OF SECURITY LABLET INITIATIVE
Building on its core strengths in Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, North Carolina State University (NCSU) has, over the last five years, emerged as a leader in both Analytics education and research. Through university-wide collaboration, our Institute for Advanced Analytics with its pioneering graduate education program, and our Institute for Next Generation Information Technology (ITng) with its security research and translation services, NCSU is well-positioned to apply advanced analytics toward such critical areas as building the scientific underpinnings to software security.
