Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity are institutions and programs that have met meticulous requirements, and through careful assessment are designated as CAE in Cybersecurity. CAE in Cybersecurity institutions receive formal recognition from the U.S. Government as well as opportunities for prestige and publicity in return for their role in supporting our Nation's information systems.

The CAE in Cybersecurity Community provides for the fruitful exchange of relevant information, ideas, and events by CAE Institutions for CAE Institutions through weekly newsletters, web conferencing platforms, and by hosting the annual symposium for existing CAEs and applicants.
