David Frazier, chair of the Residential College of Business and assistant professor of computer science, was selected to attend the 2016 Security Education (SEED) workshop on computer programming security at Syracuse University.
The workshop, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, focuses on ways to teach programming students how to avoid the most common security related problems.
According to Frazier, this is accomplished by going through a series of labs that show how poorly written programs can be compromised and showing ways to correct them.
The National Science Foundation funds the SEED labs and the on-campus training workshops. The lab exercises used in the workshops are developed at Syracuse University and used all over the world for computer and information security education.
