SUMMARY:Integrating Local LLMs in Higher Education for Privacy\, Security and Cost Effectiveness
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the value of using large local language models (LLMs) in educational settings\, with a focus on tools such as Ollama\, Llama and LangChain. Participants will learn how running LLMs locally can enhance data security and protect student privacy by keeping sensitive information off external servers. This is often a regulatory requirement for educational institutions. The session also highlights cost-effectiveness\, showing how schools and universities can reduce or eliminate recurring subscription and API fees while maintaining powerful AI capabilities with local LLMs. Designed for educators and students\, the workshop includes practical examples and use cases that demonstrate how local LLMs can support teaching\, learning\, and experimentation in a responsible\, accessible\, and sustainable way.\n\nMany vendors offer free access to their cloud-based LLMs for students and educators. However\, these free tools have usage limits and are not suitable for prompts or documents containing personally identifiable information. Local LLMs complement\, but doesnʻt replace\, the use of these cloud-based LLMs.

SUMMARY:AI-Proof Assignments for Cybersecurity Classes in an Online Environment
DESCRIPTION:The rapid adoption of generative AI has significantly altered how students approach coursework in online cybersecurity programs\, creating new challenges for assessment integrity and meaningful skill evaluation. This presentation explores practical strategies for designing AI-resistant assignments that prioritize authentic learning and demonstrable technical competence over traditional written submissions. Rather than focusing on restrictive policies or detection tools\, the session highlights assessment approaches that naturally limit inappropriate AI use by requiring students to show their work through observable actions\, verifiable outcomes\, and individualized responses. Examples include performance-based tasks\, validation of technical artifacts\, and student-led video presentations in which learners explain their process\, reasoning\, and results in their own words. By shifting the emphasis from static deliverables to student accountability and real-time demonstration\, these methods reduce the effectiveness of generative AI while better aligning assessments with real-world cybersecurity expectations. Attendees will gain insight into how thoughtfully designed assignments can both preserve academic integrity and improve student engagement in fully online environments. The session is intended for educators seeking adaptable\, experience-driven assessment ideas that evolve alongside emerging AI technologies without sacrificing rigor or authenticity.

SUMMARY:When AI Fails Undetected: Rethinking Institutional Governance\, Operations\, and Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming woven into how higher-education institutions teach\, operate\, and make decisions. Yet many of the most consequential AI risks rarely surface as obvious cybersecurity failures. Instead\, they emerge quietly through routine use\, opaque model behavior\, and unclear ownership\, often slipping past traditional IT and security controls until trust\, compliance\, or institutional credibility is already in jeopardy. Drawing on experience building and governing enterprise-scale AI platforms in regulated environments\, this presentation examines how AI can reshaping institutional operating models\, risk management practices\, and lines of accountability. It highlights why cybersecurity teams increasingly find themselves inheriting risks created upstream by governance gaps\, and why mitigating AI-driven threats demands leadership\, policy clarity\, and cross-functional alignment rather than technical controls alone. The presentation concludes by looking forward to the opportunities AI makes possible. When thoughtfully integrated\, AI can expand how institutions teach\, learn\, and collaborate across disciplines. It offers higher education the chance not only to adapt to change\, but to actively shape the future it serves.

SUMMARY:Student Spotlight: AI-Powered Behavioral Biometrics: Continuous Authentication for Securing Emerging Cyber Systems
DESCRIPTION:The different traditional authentication methods such as tokens\, passwords and static biometrics continue to fail to protect modern cyber systems\, once initial access is compromised. As digital infrastructures across different sectors\, such as healthcare\, cloud application platforms\, and public services become more interconnected and are AI driven these days\, cybersecurity must move from one-time authentication to a continuous and an adaptive defense mechanisms.\n\nThis Student Spotlight presentation draws from a peer-reviewed research study which was published in the International Journal of Information Security (IJIS) that investigates AI-powered behavioral biometrics for continuous authentication. The research investigates how machine learning models could analyze behavioral patterns\, such as interaction dynamics and session behavior - to continuously verify the user’s identity in real time\, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access after login.\n\nThe presentation will be on the way in which behavioral biometrics have a human-centric and interdisciplinary approach to cybersecurity\, fusing the skills of AI\, human behavior\, and security systems\, and how it is being applied in critical sectors like healthcare sector\, cloud computing\, and online government services\, among others\, with consideration to the ethics of the same and the preparedness of the workforce.\n\nThis is going to explain how translating research insights into accessible concepts makes it possible for students and educators to bridge cybersecurity\, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human factors to make them even more resilient to emerging cyber threats. The session will emphasize the role of interdisciplinary education and student-led research in shaping the future of AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions.

SUMMARY:Real Time Crime Center and Public University Partnerships for Cybersecurity and Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Rural communities have the same challenges as large metropolitan cities but in different scales. They suffer from gang violence\, drug and human trafficking\, violent crimes\, and vehicular crimes. Combining these crimes with a geographically dispersed area with multiple law enforcement agencies only adds to the challenges. For example\, the City of Knoxville TN covers 100 square miles with 200\,000 residents. Taking that same population density to east Tennessee\, the required land area would be over 1\,000 square miles and cover dozens of agencies. To address these challenges\, East Tennessee State University has partnered with the City of Johnson City\, Northeast Tennessee's largest municipality\, to establish the first Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) at a university that serves the region. The RTCC will be a fusion center of law enforcement agencies that cooperate to combat crime. RTCCs enhance public safety by integrating live surveillance\, data analytics\, and rapid response coordination across law enforcement agencies. These centers enable proactive crime prevention through real-time monitoring and predictive policing strategies. By streamlining communication and access to critical information\, RTCCs improve emergency response times and investigative efficiency. Their implementation fosters community trust and resilience by promoting transparency and data-driven decision-making in public safety operations.

SUMMARY:India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI): Deconstructing Hardware-Backed Security in an AI-Driven World
DESCRIPTION:India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a real-time digital payment system that has effectively replaced cash for millions of users across India and parts of Asia. As real-time payment platforms expand globally\, the fight against account takeover (ATO) and SIM-swap fraud has intensified.\n\nUPI has emerged as a global benchmark—not only for its massive scale\, processing over 10 billion transactions monthly—but also for its distinctive device-binding security model. Unlike U.S. peer-to-peer (P2P) payment systems that primarily rely on software-based multi-factor authentication (MFA)\, UPI enforces a hardware-and-network-level handshake that tightly couples the user\, device\, SIM\, and bank account.\n\nThis session will explore the UPI technical stack in depth\, examining how it leverages the mobile device’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)\, SIM-based identity\, and cryptographic binding to create a practical “Zero Trust” payment ecosystem. Attendees will gain insight into why UPI has proven highly resilient to large-scale fraud—and what global payment systems can learn from its architecture in an AI-accelerated threat landscape.

This shift\, recognizing professional gamers as "cognitive athletes\," is not only reshaping entertainment but also creating a tactic to advance cyber talent to meet the demands of emerging accelerants like AI and quantum\, as the skills essential for top-tier esports competitors mirror the mental architecture needed for future tech professionals.\n\nThis keynote explores the emerging Cognitive Domain and how the high-pressure\, mentally demanding competitive gaming offers a powerful\, unconventional training ground for critical infrastructure resilience.\n\nWe will frame the human mind not just as a tool\, but as a muscle requiring deliberate conditioning. Through analysis of neurological data and performance metrics from top-tier competitive gaming\, this presentation will demonstrate how structured cognitive conditioning—focused on rapid decision-making\, pattern recognition under stress\, sustained attention\, and collaborative problem-solving—directly translates into enhanced mental agility to counter advanced persistent threats\, strengthening focus during prolonged monitoring sessions\, and optimizing team coordination under the duress of a live cyber-attack on critical systems.\n\nJoin us to uncover the science behind "training like a pro gamer" for high-performing operations. We will conclude with dedicated small group discussions designed to actively engage the audience in exploring and defining the practical application of cognitive games and specialized exercises within both academic curricula and industry professional development programs. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on building a superiorly conditioned "cognitive muscle" ready to face the future of critical infrastructure security.

SUMMARY:Designing an AI-Mentored IoT Course Using Agile
DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces the instructional format behind Sinclair College’s AI-mentored Internet of Things (IoT) course\, designed to blend experiential learning\, Agile practices\, and personalized student pathways. The class is structured around two-week sprints in which students are expected to deliver demonstrable value\, mirroring real-world IoT product and systems development.\n\nEach sprint includes three stand-up meetings distributed across the two weeks\, followed by a value presentation to a client and a structured retrospective. Students work from a Kanban board populated with value-based deliverables and supportive task suggestions. While these deliverables provide clear guidance\, students are empowered to modify or create their own\, allowing them to pursue individual interests and tailor solutions to specific IoT verticals.\n\nThe course is composed of seven two-week sessions\, each focused on a different IoT domain. Two of these sessions are dedicated specifically to IoT security\, encouraging students to incorporate security considerations directly into their projects. Rather than treating security as a standalone topic\, students are guided to apply secure design\, threat awareness\, and risk mitigation within the context of their chosen verticals and use cases.\n\nAgile is embedded throughout the course\, giving students hands-on experience with multiple practices such as monitoring flow metrics\, Kanban board visualization\, and Scrum events. These experiences prepare students for industry expectations and provide foundational Agile knowledge aligned with Professional Kanban I (PKI) certification. The result is a scalable\, adaptive learning model that unifies AI mentorship\, Agile delivery\, and modern IoT education.

SUMMARY:AI++ / AI--: Applying Cyber Risk Thinking to Generative AI in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:As generative AI tools become embedded in teaching and learning\, students must learn not only how to use these technologies but also how to evaluate\, validate\, and take responsibility for their outputs. In cyber-related fields\, unverified or inaccurate AI-generated content introduces real risk\, affecting documentation\, policy analysis\, compliance\, and technical decision-making. This session applies cyber risk thinking to generative AI use in the classroom\, framing AI use as a system that must be assessed for potential threats\, vulnerabilities\, impact\, and appropriate safeguards. Rather than framing AI as inherently good or bad\, the presenters focus on helping students recognize tradeoffs\, understand where AI adds value\, and where human judgment remains essential. The presentation brings together a community college faculty member and a four-year university faculty member to share lessons learned from teaching with generative AI across the academic pipeline. Drawing on experiences from Privacy for Professionals and related courses\, the presenters share best practices for teaching ethical and responsible AI use in ways that prepare students for academic progression and professional expectations. The session also highlights how the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) was used to clarify acceptable AI use and to reinforce accountability\, transparency\, and verification of AI-generated work. Attendees will leave with practical strategies and classroom-ready case studies they can adapt for embedding ethical AI use\, risk awareness\, and student responsibility into business\, policy\, IT\, and cybersecurity curricula.

SUMMARY:Lunch Speaker: The New Perimeter: AI Ethics\, Data Risk\, and Cybersecurity in Every Organization
DESCRIPTION:When we talk about cybersecurity\, we tend to focus on threats from the outside: phishing attacks\, ransomware\, and data breaches. But the most consequential vulnerabilities in any organization right now are already inside the building\, embedded in the tools used every day.\n&nbsp\;\nGenerative AI has moved from an occasional experiment to a constant presence in the learning and operational environments\, and most institutions and businesses have not kept up. Every time a user uploads work to a public AI tool\, and every time a user uses an agentic system to complete an assignment\, and every time a department adopts a new AI application without a data protection and retention policy\, the institution or orgnaization accepts risk it may not even recognize.\n&nbsp\;\nThis session frames AI governance as a cybersecurity imperative\, not just a pedagogical or business competitive preference. Drawing on law\, ethics\, and cross-disciplinary policy practice\, we will examine where the real vulnerabilities are\, what workers in every discipline need to understand\, and what practical guardrails look like in a world where the threat is already inside the perimeter.\n\n

SUMMARY:Teaching Cybersecurity for Jobs That Don’t Exist: Why Space Is the Ultimate Interdisciplinary Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity education often lags the reality of how critical infrastructure systems actually operate—interconnected\, global\, and shaped by risks that cross technical\, organizational\, and national boundaries. This presentation argues that space is uniquely suited to close that gap.\n\nDrawing on a collaboration between the University of Colorado\, Colorado Springs and Space ISAC\, this session reframes space not as a niche technical domain\, but as a pedagogical integrator—one that forces students to reason simultaneously about cybersecurity\, AI\, supply chains\, governance\, resilience\, and international coordination. Space systems touch nearly every critical infrastructure sector and operate in environments where failure is systemic\, consequences are global\, and roles evolve faster than job descriptions.\n\nPresenters will share how faculty and industry leaders co-designed interdisciplinary learning experiences that expose students to real-world cyber risk\, international perspectives\, and emerging workforce roles that did not exist when most academic programs were conceived. Attendees will leave with a new way to think about cybersecurity education: not as content to be added\, but as a capability to be cultivated across disciplines.

SUMMARY:AI Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: A Backdoor Attack Demonstration Using Real Data
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly depend on complex supply chains that include externally sourced datasets\, pretrained model checkpoints\, fine-tuning pipelines\, and automated feedback mechanisms. This layered dependency structure exposes AI systems to supply chain vulnerabilities that differ fundamentally from those in traditional software engineering. This work demonstrates that AI is not an exception to supply chain risk\; rather\, it amplifies such vulnerabilities through its reliance on data-driven learning. Using a backdoor poisoning attack on the EMNIST dataset—an expanded 2017 successor to the original MNIST benchmark—the study shows how a small\, automated manipulation of upstream training data can implant persistent\, targeted misbehavior in a downstream model without altering code\, architecture\, or infrastructure. Empirical evaluation\, including clean versus triggered confusion matrices and visual inspection\, reveals the stealth\, effectiveness\, and reproducibility of the attack. The findings underscore the need for rigorous provenance tracking\, auditing\, and adversarial evaluation frameworks to secure AI supply chains\, particularly as AI becomes embedded in emerging technologies and autonomous systems.

SUMMARY:Reimagining Cybersecurity and AI Education in Information Technology Domains
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity—and more recently\, artificial intelligence—has become pervasive across computing education\, including Information Technology Systems (ITS). Long before cybersecurity was formally recognized as a distinct discipline\, its principles were deeply embedded within IT practice and instruction. While cybersecurity now stands as its own domain\, many IT areas continue to rely heavily on its foundations. At the same time\, emerging competencies driven by AI adoption are reshaping what is uniquely essential to the IT field.\n\nThis work revisits the core concepts central to ITS and examines how they must evolve in response to AI integration. We argue for the development of updated professional competencies and dispositions that reflect the realities of modern IT practice\, where cybersecurity awareness\, adversarial thinking\, and AI literacy are inseparable from system administration\, networking\, and infrastructure management. By reframing these competencies\, this paper contributes a perspective for aligning IT education with contemporary technological and workforce demands.

SUMMARY:Cyber by Design: Supporting Cyber-Ready Pathways Across Disciplines
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity touches far more students than just those who plan to major in it. Students in programs such as healthcare\, medical records\, criminal justice\, automotive technology\, and manufacturing regularly encounter cybersecurity issues in their coursework and future jobs\, but they don’t always see how cybersecurity skills connect to their fields.\n\nThis workshop introduces the Explore Cyber Toolkit\, a collection of practical resources designed to help students explore cybersecurity careers across disciplines. Co-presented by a faculty member and an academic advisor\, the session shows how teaching and advising can work together to support conversations about cybersecurity careers\, minors\, certificates\, and cyber-adjacent pathways.\n\nParticipants will work through several of the toolkit’s worksheets\, including activities focused on interests and personality\, career role mapping\, and pathway planning. These tools are designed to help students connect what they already enjoy and do well in their majors to cybersecurity roles that exist in critical infrastructure areas like healthcare\, manufacturing\, transportation\, and public safety.\n\nRather than treating cybersecurity as a standalone program\, the workshop focuses on using shared tools and common language to make cyber pathways clearer and more accessible to a wider range of students. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use worksheets and practical ideas they can immediately apply in advising sessions\, classrooms\, workshops\, and outreach events.
