Mississippi State University (MSU) proposes to continue and expand its participation in the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program. As a designated National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE CD), Cyber Research (CAE-R), and Cyber Operations (CAE-CO), MSU is uniquely positioned to prepare highly qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. The project will have an immediate impact on the information assurance and forensics capabilities of the federal workforce by developing well-trained cybersecurity professionals. MSU will continue a strong working relationship with several universities, two-year colleges, and the law enforcement community. The program at MSU will offer students innovative technical research opportunities, highly qualified faculty, opportunities for professional exposure, and productive institutional assistance for internships and job placement. The SFS program funds projects that address cybersecurity education and workforce development, including funding to award scholarships to students in cybersecurity. MSU will leverage their extensive operational experience and program maturity to graduate approximately 12 SFS students a year for the government. Students will be selected from several degree programs including Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, and Management Information Systems. All students will take courses in Information and Computer Security including a lab with a strong emphasis on penetration testing; Software Reverse Engineering techniques; Digital and Computer Forensics focusing on computer crime and the study of evidence for solving such crimes; and Cryptography and Network Security with a strong emphasis on network protocol vulnerabilities. SFS students will apply their knowledge in computer security laboratories, advanced cyber operations laboratories, and in isolated labs to complete an intensive, team-oriented research experience.This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

密西西比州立大学（MSU）的提议继续并扩大其参与网络科目（R）：服务奖学金（SFS）计划。作为指定的网络防御学术卓越学术中心（CAE CD），网络研究（CAE-R）和网络运营（CAE-CO），MSU在为高素质的网络安全专业人员准备进入政府劳动力方面的独特位置。该项目将通过培养训练有素的网络安全专业人员来立即对联邦劳动力的信息保证和法医能力产生影响。 MSU将继续与几所大学，两年学院和执法界保持牢固的工作关系。 MSU计划将为学生提供创新的技术研究机会，高素质的教职员工，专业曝光的机会以及为实习和工作安置提供生产的机构援助。 SFS计划资助了针对网络安全教育和劳动力发展的项目，包括为网络安全学生授予奖学金的资金。 MSU将利用他们丰富的运营经验和计划成熟度，每年为政府毕业约12名平方英尺的学生。将从多个学位课程中选择学生，包括计算机科学，网络安全，软件工程，计算机工程，电气工程，工业和系统工程以及管理信息系统。所有学生将参加信息和计算机安全课程，包括一个非常重视渗透测试的实验室；软件逆向工程技术；数字和计算机取证，重点是计算机犯罪以及解决此类犯罪的证据；以及密码和网络安全性，非常重视网络协议漏洞。 SFS students will apply their Knowledge in computer security laboratories, advanced cyber operations laboratories, and in isolated labs to complete an intensive, team-oriented research experience.This project is supported by the Cyber​​Corps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber​​ ​​Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce.毕业后，科学载体接受者必须在联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作中工作与科学支持相同的持续时间。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来评估的。
