Designing Cyberdeceptions for Defending Industrial Control Systems from Cyberattacks

About this program

The Naval Postgraduate School, in collaboration with the National Academies of Science, Engineering, & Medicine, offers a $67,000 fellowship to design cyberdeception interfaces for defending industrial control systems against cyberattacks. This grant supports research into techniques such as bait files, honeypots, false error messages, and information overload to mislead attackers. Eligibility is open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and non-U.S. citizens at the postdoctoral or senior level, with stipends adjusted based on years of experience post-PhD. There is no deadline or cost-sharing requirement for this opportunity.
