Center for Cybersecurity: Make us Stand Out

Center for Cybersecurity

The Center for Cybersecurity brings together a range of expertise from across RIT to understand and address real-world challenges in cybersecurity and to educate the next generation of cybersecurity experts.

The Goals and Objectives of the Center for Cybersecurity are to:
- Establish and promote RIT as a leader in cybersecurity.
- Serve as a hub for faculty, researchers, and students from a range of programs across the RIT campus to engage on cybersecurity issues.
- Develop and execute exciting new cybersecurity research projects that advance the state of the art and can help people and organizations get and stay ahead of their adversaries.
- Create innovative cybersecurity technologies and help transfer that technology into the real world by encouraging entrepreneurship and partnerships with industry and organizations.
- Reach out to industry and organizations to understand their cybersecurity needs, and partner with them to develop new projects and programs, such as the Pentesting Lab.
- Support the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences and RIT in their missions by helping to educate well-prepared students with knowledge and skills in cybersecurity.

If you want to use the RIT colors: http://www.rit.edu/upub/downloads

An upgraded/professional version of the attached file would be a great start, but I'm open to your ideas.

New note: look, I get that design would typically tell you to make the length of "center for" and "cybersecurity" the same, but a center is simply not the important part, the cybersecurity is.

For the attached file, we had a student designer create something that incorporated a security element with tiger stripes, as a tiger is the RIT mascot. The RIT colors are orange and brown like you see here (the darker orange in "security"). I am not committed to keeping these colors, but would want a compelling reason to move away from them. It's good to stand out a bit when the security field seems to use a lot of blue (google image search for cybersecurity logo, it's all over), plus we're not selling security as much as selling research/ideas/creativity in the field. Also not wedded to the tiger stripes or shield, would love to see a range of ideas, but this beat out some other shield shapes. I do not want cameras and other surveillance, eyes, etc. I think I prefer a simple background that can be used in a range of places, from website to letterhead to poster to PPT slides. Lots of complex Matrix-y stuff will look cool but be too hard to adapt to these settings. Thanks!
