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 fellowship grant of $67,000 to design cyberdeception interfaces for defending industrial control systems against cyberattacks. The project focuses on techniques like bait files, honeypots, false error messages, and creating information overload to mislead attackers. Eligible applicants include postdoctoral and senior researchers, both U.S. citizens and non-citizens, with stipends adjusted based on years of experience post-PhD. No cost-sharing is required.
