This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop a cybersecurity training program focused on large language models (LLMs) and their integration into advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) systems. The $250,000 award to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) will fund the creation of 8 core training modules to prepare undergraduate and graduate students nationwide to identify, analyze, and mitigate different attack vectors targeting LLM-empowered CI systems. The training program will include hands-on exercises, a 2-week onsite summer bootcamp, and the incorporation of training materials into AI and cybersecurity courses. The publicly available training modules and resources developed through this 3-year project are intended to address the gap in LLM security expertise and help secure the increasingly prevalent use of LLMs in critical decision-making, code generation, and sensitive data analysis applications.
