New From SCP: Researchers Find Training Gaps Impacting Maritime Cybersecurity Readiness Read more: cc.gatech.edu/news/researche…

In 2025, the container ship MSC Antonia experienced spoofed GPS signals in the Red Sea and eventually ran aground. Maritime cyber incidents are rising, but crews often lack training to respond. Read more: theconversation.com/when-gps-lies-… #Cybersecurity #Maritime #GPS

When GPS lies, ships can run aground. In a new article, Georgia Tech PhD student Anna Raymaker explains how GPS jamming and spoofing are creating growing risks for ships and their crews. Read more: theconversation.com/when-gps-lies-…

Today is the last day of Ph.D. Preview! We had such a great time showing these admits around SCP and showing them what it means to research cybersecurity and privacy at Georgia Tech! A big thank you to the faculty, staff, and students that made this week a success!

Congratulations to Frank Li for being promoted to Associate Professor and earning tenure!

Black-box AI? Not anymore. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology created ZEN — a framework that can trace a proprietary AI model back to its open-source origins. Details were presented at @NDSSSymposium Read the story: cc.gatech.edu/news/scp-your-…

A huge thank you to Priyanka Nanayakkara for coming to SCP! We loved hearing about your approach to protecting privacy with human-centered tools!

We had a spectacular discussion with Collins Munyendo yesterday about his research on more usable and secure authentication! Thank you Dr. Munyendo for visiting SCP!

The 2026 cybersecurity academic conference season begins this Monday with the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium in San Diego! Georgia Tech has five papers with 18 authors covering topics from AI Security to Network Security. public.tableau.com/views/NDSS2026…

#PRISMVoices | Researcher Spotlight: Veronica Rivera studies harm & self-protection in algorithm-mediated offline interactions (gig work, sex work, online dating). PRISM-supported work w/ @eredmil1 appeared at CSCW 2024. This fall she joins @GaTechCyber. #NSFPRISM #DigitalSafety

Kodi Brown likes a challenge at work, and as a financial support coordinator, the stakes can be high when submitting applications for large grants. In year one on the job, she helped secure $900K in research funding for @GaTechCyber faculty. News: cc.gatech.edu/news/scp-kodi-…

When NSF deadlines pile up, Kodi Brown builds order from complexity. This year alone, she has supported 19 NSF proposals totaling $13M+ at @GeorgiaTech’s School of Cybersecurity and Privacy. Meet the steady presence behind the submissions: cc.gatech.edu/news/scp-kodi-…

A big thank you to Aviv Yaish for his great talk yesterday! We really enjoyed having you on campus and engaging with your research. @yaish_aviv

Our January newsletter is live! Check out what's new from SCP: mailchi.mp/cc.gatech.edu/…

New research shows hackers could reprogram self-driving vehicles with deadly results. VillainNet, a security exploit @GaTechCyber researchers reported last year, was successful in 99% of tests and nearly impossible to detect. News: cc.gatech.edu/news/scp-resea… @GeorgiaTech_ECE

Georgia Tech researchers warn of a hidden AI “blind spot” that could allow attackers to hijack self-driving vehicles. The vulnerability, known as VillainNet, raises urgent questions about AI security in autonomous systems. cc.gatech.edu/news/scp-resea…

Cyber threats may seem isolated or removed from daily concerns. Then the unthinkable happens—a cyber attack on infrastructure causes crippling social and economic failures. Saman Zonouz @szonouz shares his expertise. theconversation.com/hacking-the-gr… @GaTechCyber @GeorgiaTech_ECE
