Welcome to the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy


Dedicated to the Future

The School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, one of five schools in the top ten ranked College of Computing, was formed in September 2020. It builds on the strong foundation and continued success of the cybersecurity research, education, and service efforts at Georgia Tech that began more than twenty years ago.

We are home to graduate students working to complete their master’s or Ph.D. programs from multiple disciplines at Georgia Tech. With the rise of regularly occurring cyberattacks and data breaches, the demand for innovative research and education in the field of cybersecurity and privacy greater than ever.

A huge thank you to Mary Helen, Gina, and Tiffany for their tremendous effort and teamwork in completing a complex, time-sensitive server purchase. Mary Helen tirelessly coordinated with Procurement navigating the required exceptions, Gina swiftly secured the necessary P-card limit increases, and Tiffany went above and beyond by driving to the store to personally pick up the equipment. This hardware is a huge help in getting our project going, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part in getting this done.
