This Regional Innovation Engines Development Award is focused on developing the vision and plans for creating a world-class maritime cybersecurity capability for South Carolina and subsequently adopted across the nation's maritime transportation industry. The project intends to be at the vanguard of research, education, workforce development, outreach, and product creation. Innovation efforts will include cybersecurity education, research, experimentation, investment, and commercialization of products and services with national impact. Key partners in this collaboration include the University of South Carolina Beaufort, South Coast Cyber Center, Clemson University, South Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina, South Carolina Council on Competitiveness, Technical College of the Lowcountry, and the South Carolina Research Authority. South Carolina's ports, rail, interstate highways, and strategic position in the southeast United States make it an ideal location for this Development award. The state's maritime transportation system enables critical economic activity for firms and households nationwide. The project's goals include building collaborative partnerships with academia, industry, and government to understand the interdependencies, vulnerabilities, and risks to drive the development of technologies and services that build critical resiliency into the ecosystem.This project will identify and develop commercially viable maritime cybersecurity solutions and services in concert with building a robust cadre of cybersecurity professionals and technology to drive sustainable and equitable economic growth. A key priority will be the development of a strong cybersecurity workforce among traditionally disadvantaged members of society. The outcomes of this award will more clearly define the current maritime cybersecurity needs and gaps; innovations and solutions to address the gaps; and establish tangible innovation, technology, and workforce development plans needed to address industry challenges.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.

该区域创新发动机开发奖的重点是制定为南卡罗来纳州创建世界一流海上网络安全能力的愿景和计划，随后在全国海上运输行业中采用。该项目打算在研究，教育，劳动力发展，外展和产品创建的先锋队中。创新工作将包括具有国家影响力的产品和服务的网络安全教育，研究，实验，投资和商业化。这项合作的主要合作伙伴包括南卡罗来纳大学Beaufort大学，南海岸网络中心，克莱姆森大学，南卡罗来纳州立大学，南卡罗来纳大学，南卡罗来纳州竞争力委员会，低名国技术学院和南卡罗来纳州研究局。南卡罗来纳州的港口，铁路，州际公路和美国东南部的战略地位使其成为该开发奖的理想场所。该州的海上运输系统为全国的公司和家庭提供了关键的经济活动。 The project's goals include building collaborative partnerships with academia, industry, and government to understand the interdependencies, vulnerabilities, and risks to drive the development of technologies and services that build critical resiliency into the ecosystem.This project will identify and develop commercially viable maritime cybersecurity solutions and services in concert with building a robust cadre of cybersecurity professionals and technology to drive sustainable and equitable economic growth.一个关键的优先事项将是在传统上处于弱势社会成员中发展强大的网络安全劳动力。该奖项的结果将更清楚地定义当前的海上网络安全需求和差距；解决差距的创新和解决方案；并建立解决行业挑战所需的切实创新，技术和劳动力发展计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
