How does cybersecurity research play a crucial yet often invisible role in shaping the safety of our digital lives? Dr. Matthew Revelle, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at MSU, will address this question as part of Gallatin Valley Friends of the Sciences’ popular lecture series.
Co-sponsored by nonprofit org Hopa Mountain, the next talk of the ’25 series is set for Wednesday, April 16th. “The Real-World Impacts of Cybersecurity Research” will begin at 6:30pm. It will be held in the Community Room at Bozeman Public Library. In his presentation, Revelle will provide an overview of the interplay between offensive and defensive cybersecurity and how cybersecurity research impacts our daily lives.
