Abstract

Cyber security assets are threatened more and more every day. Researchers at the University of South Carolina examined the University’s existing cyber security practices and considered changes that might afford better protection. This paper presents the results of interviews with faculty conducting research in several fields. An interview script was created and responses from the interviews allowed the authors to determine several trends in cyber security challenges. Comparisons of these trends as they relate to research by different faculty show that parallels exist which may allow for improvements regarding cyber security across the university and eventually the state.
