Released first through a series of articles and then the full publication, this special edition addresses a number of issues related to cybersecurity in a “networked world.” In addition, we’ve highlighted some of the multi-disciplinary, campus wide initiatives that exemplify Carnegie Mellon’s international leadership, not only in the development of information technology, but also in the research and education needed to tackle cyber-threats head on, while protecting individual privacy.
Special Edition: Public Policy

The following articles highlight how Carnegie Mellon has emerged as a leader in public policy.
