Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Former U.S. Congressman Jim Langevin has two new appointments to institutions of higher education in Rhode Island.
On Tuesday, the University of Rhode Island -- and Brown University -- announced simultaneously the addition of Langevin as a visiting faculty member at their schools.
According to Brown, Langevin -- the founder and former chair of the House Cybersecurity Caucus -- will lead an undergraduate study group, “Surveying the Cyber Threat Landscape and Protecting the United States Against Cyberattacks of Significant Consequence” this spring. The five-week study group will focus on the current threat landscape; how the federal and state governments are structured to respond to threats; what policies can strengthen our cyber-eco system; an examination of the public-private partnerships to address critical infrastructure systems; and an evaluation of how to engage internationally to strengthen cyber security.
