This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), aims to train a diverse research workforce in developing and using fair and explainable AI-based cybersecurity solutions for cloud computing infrastructure (CI). The $150,000 award to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) will fund the development and integration of seven advanced experiential learning modules, referred to as AI4SecureCI, into undergraduate and graduate curricula. These modules will cover concepts such as network security, malware detection, adversarial attacks and defenses, and explainable AI - all relevant to enhancing the security and trustworthiness of cloud CI. The project also plans to conduct student bootcamps and faculty workshops to broaden the adoption of these AI4SecureCI and computational data-driven methods, particularly among underrepresented groups in cloud CI research and development. The developed training materials and research advances will be made publicly available through a project website and in collaboration with the NSF's ACCESS program.
