From YouTube: MS-CC Overview
Description
Presenter: Lawrence Williams
A
He
is
the
new
director
of
the
minority
serving
cyber
infrastructure,
Consortium
AKA
mscc.
He
has
a
master's
in
Information
Systems
from
Syracuse
University
and
among
the
many
many
impressive
things
has
done,
I
think
there's
Cindy
Clark
he's
overseen
I.T
project
supporting
the
U.S
army
leader
of
operations
at
six
Middle
Eastern
countries
with
that
I'll
leave
it
to
you.
Lawrence.
B
B
That's
where
I
got
my
undergrad
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
opportunities
that
is
presented,
mean
I'd
like
to
take
a
couple
minutes
to
talk,
talk
in
detail
about
the
mscc
and
what
we're
doing
for
the
community
and
and
maybe
how
we
can
collaborate
in
the
future
and
if
nothing
else,
just
some
take
away.
So
you
know
where
what
what
the
activities
we're
sharing
in
our
community
I
think
at
this
point
everyone
can
see
my
slides.
B
The
vision
of
the
mscc
is
that
it's
a
to
develop
a
transformational
partnership
to
promote
advancement
of
cyber
infrastructure,
capabilities
on
hbcus,
hsis,
ccus
and
MSI
campuses.
So
we
want
this
partnership
to
expand
cyber
infrastructure,
for
not
just
you
know,
hbcus
or
tcus,
but
all
minority
serving
institutions
I
think
it's
critical
that
all
institutions
have
the
capability
to
work
with
cyber
infrastructure,
especially
when
it
comes
to
research
in
the
the
fields
of
Science
and
Engineering.
B
So
some
of
our
guiding
principles,
inclusion,
Innovation
and
stakeholder
value.
Inclusion
is
very
important
to
me
and
when
we,
when
we
talk
about
inclusion,
specifically
we're
referring
to
the
inclusion
to
access
to
research,
architecture,
right
inclusion
of
minority
serving
communities
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
ability
to
share
their
ideas
and
Concepts.
One
of
the
things
that
was
brought
to
me
on
a
conference
is,
you
know,
imagine
the
the
data
and
the
progress
that
we
could
have
or
data
we
received
and
the
progress
that
could
be
made.
B
If
you
know
some
of
our,
our
younger
scientists
were
able
to
understand
data
science
better,
that
they
could
even
use
it
to
further
some
of
their
ideas
right.
Maybe
when
they're
at
black
black
lives
matter,
protest
that
they're
able
to
use
data
science
to
find
some
some
correlations
between
some
of
the
protests
in
various
cities
and
I
had
never
thought
about
that
right.
There's
a
lot
of
ways
that
you
can
use
data
and
our
young
people
are
very,
very
Innovative,
but
a
lot
of
them
at
smaller
institutions.
B
B
So
the
mscc
first
started
with
a
survey
in
2020.,
and
this
is
where
we,
where
we
really
started
gaining
momentum,
and
the
survey
was
to
collect
current
data
on
Computing
infrastructure
landscape.
The
purpose
of
the
study
was
to
determine
funding
requirements
right.
We
wanted
to
established
priorities
for
hbcus
and
tcus
and
hsis
and
other
minority
serving
institutions.
B
As
you
can
see,
we
had
about
291
respondents
across
144
institutions.
What
this?
What
this
says
is
that
there
was
an
interest
and
we
also
found
out
that
there
was
a
need.
Based
on
that
survey.
We
were
able
to
put
together
some
thought:
leaders
at
various
institutions,
all
hbcus
and
tcus,
to
be
awarded
a
NSF
Grant.
This
NFS
NSF
Grant
was
for
to
develop
a
center
of
excellence
and
a
demonstration
pilot
for
a
minority
starting
here
for
cyber
infrastructure
Consortium,
and
that's
how
the
mscc
was
was
originated.
B
Some
of
the
objectives
included,
creating
a
connectivity
and
collaborative
organization
that
serves
as
a
centralized
hub
for
hbcus,
tcus
and
other
msis
to
utilize
for
CI
advocacy,
guidance
and
expertise,
and
what
we
have
found
is
that,
prior
to
this
there
you
know,
other
institutions
had
had
different
experiences,
whether
they're
conferences,
workshops
or
surveys.
That
did
the
same
thing,
but
there
wasn't
one
organization
that
was
a
connective
tissue
that
could
do
this
long
term,
since
the
mscc
has
started
with
this
demonstration.
B
Pilot
I
have
received
personal
contact
from
various
organizations
from
corporations
to
science,
organizations
that
want
to
participate
and
I
think
that's
the
key
for
the
mscc
to
be
that
connective
tissue
to
help
organizations
access.
Some
of
the
great
things
that
are
happening
at
the
small
universities
or
in
msis.
B
B
So
in
this
NSF
demonstration
pilot
couple,
things
wanted
to
highlight.
I
wanted
to
show
that
scientific
and
broader
impacts.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
highlight
the
advanced
understanding
of
the
benefits
of
shared
CI
across
a
distributed
community
of
colleges
and
University
in
a
mix
of
urban,
suburban
and
Rural
settings.
What
we've
noticed
with
some
of
the
msis
is
that,
if
you're
in
a
rule,
setting
access
to
things
as
simple
as
Broadband
is
somewhat
challenging
right,
also,
access
to
CI
resources
is
challenging.
We've
seen.
B
Excuse
me
for
some
of
the
larger
msis
that
are
in
proximities
with
large
institutions,
it's
easier
for
collaboration.
But
what
do
you
do
with
the
msis
that
are
in
more
rural
communities?
How
do
we
have
that
connectivity
tissue?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
they
can
collaborate
with
larger
institutions
and
the
mscc
is
working
to
make
sure
that
we
build
that
connective
tissue
so
that
all
institutions
for
for
the
underserved
communities
can
participate
in
that?
B
One
of
the
things
that's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
is
to
be
able
to
increase
diversity
in
the
stem
talent
pool
and
Workforce
I
I.
Think
it's
without
saying
that
you
know
a
lot
of
minorities
are
under
represented
in
the
stem
community
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
access
to
stem
resources.
So
you
know
in
the
future
that
we
can
kind
of
level
the
playing
field
when
it
comes
to
the
Science
and
Technology
community.
B
We
also
want
to
increase
the
availability
of
Workforce
Development
opportunities
for
researchers,
professional
staff
and
students
at
hbcus,
tcus
and
other
msis.
You
know
the
Workforce
Development
opportunities
is
something
that
that
I
think
we
all
need
to
to
pay
attention
to,
and
cyber
security
specifically,
which
is
my
area
of
expertise.
B
I
read
a
study
once
that
that
was
saying
that
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years
that
we
will
be
almost
a
million
will
have
a
million
cyber
security
jobs
that
will
go
unfilled
right
because
we
don't
have
the
training
pipeline
to
address
all
those
needs.
So
this
is
something
that
I
think
that
that
we
all
can
pay
attention
to
and
that
we
all
can
work
together
to
help.
You
know,
fill
those
voids.
B
So
here's
some
of
the
things
that
we've
already
started
doing
with
the
demonstration
pilot
and
I'm
very
proud
of
this,
because
you
know
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
we've
done
a
lot
of
activities.
So
right
now
we're
in
May
and
we've
already
hired
staff
for
the
mscc
myself
included
as
the
Director.
But
we
were
able
to
start
coordinating
all
of
these
activities
going
into
the
first
quarter
of
2023..
B
One
of
the
things
that
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
going
to
build
this
connective
tissues
is
through
workshops,
as
you
can
see
that
we
have
what
we
call
cyber
infrastructure
days
plan
at
these
various
universities,
also
hbcus
and
ccus,
and
in
addition
to
cyber
infrastructure.
Today,
we're
going
to
have
a
security
Workshop.
B
B
So
now
we
have
the
connective
tissue,
so
the
next
phase,
so
the
next
year,
when
we
go
back
or
throughout
the
years
when
we
have
activities
that
support.
You
know:
expansion
of
cyber
infrastructure,
whether
that's
grant
funding
activities
that
increase
cyber
infrastructure.
On
the
campus,
you
know
now
we
have
already
a
network
and
a
community
where
we
can.
We
can
start
building
from
there
same
with
the
cyber
security
workshops.
These
aren't
your
typical
workshops.
Where
we
just
talk
about.
You
know
a
concept
which
we
will.
B
B
This
is
probably
the
slide
that
I'm
most
proud
of
you
know
when
mscc
first
started,
we
had
about
11
institutions
that
were
partners
with
it.
You
know,
including
hbcus
and
some
larger
universities,
as
of
today
when
I
was
working
with
my
staff,
we're
up
to
37
universities
that
are
members
of,
and
this
is
just
hbcus
that
are
members
of
the
mscc.
B
So
in
about
a
year's
time,
we've
doubled
the
amount
of
hbcus
that
our
members
of
the
mscc
and
we
don't
have
all
the
data
for
the
tcus,
but
it
has
increased
dramatically
so
I'm
very
proud
of
the
progress
we've
made
in
a
short
time
and
I'm
looking
for
partners
I'm
looking
for
organizations
that
are
willing
to
work
with
us
and
and
help
us
with
innovative
ideas
on
how
we
can
bring
resources
and
help
develop
a
community
of
practice
right
now,
we're
we're
exploring
different
things.
Like
you
know,
maybe
we
can.
B
The
mscc
can
have
and
I
don't
want
to
say
an
organization,
but
have
something
like
a
random
ISAC
where
we
can
provide.
You
know
some
type
of
security,
information
to
local
hbcus
or
maybe
even
a
site
that
will
provide
certain
security
operations
for
a
set
of
hbcus
right,
so
we're
still
tailoring
the
output
that
we
will
have,
but
we're
always
looking
for
ideas.
We're
looking
for
partners
we're
looking
for
people
who
want
to
contribute
to
the
benefit
of
the
community
as
a
whole.
A
D
I
had
a
question
about
this
I
think.
Thank
you.
It's
a
really
great
presentation
and
I
think
a
wonderful
idea.
We
worked
with
Dr
aloe
to
write
you
guys
a
letter
of
support
for
this,
so
I
love
it
and
then
they
we
I
was
interested.
You
have
a
background
here
in
Atlanta,
we're
doing
a
researcher
training
in
the
fall
and
whether
this
would
be
a
research,
a
resource.
It's
the
code
data
one
Christine
to
if
this
was
to
be
a
resource
that
you
could
speak
about.
B
Absolutely
I
would
love
to
participate.
We
do
have
Dr
Damien
I,
can't
think
of
his
last
name.
Forgive
me,
but
he's
at
Meharry
currently
and
he's
done
a
lot
of
innovative
things
around
research,
infrastructure
and
and
kind
of
the
medical
he's
a
CIO
at
maharry.
So
in
that
space,
so
you
know
he
could
share
or
I
could
share.
We
could
tailor
presentations
to
the
audience
right.
B
I'm
always
excited
to
share
everything
about
the
mscc,
so
sometimes
I
have
to
kind
of
you
know
slow
down
and-
and
you
know
make
sure
that
I'm
addressing
the
needs
of
the
audience,
but
we
would
love
to
participate.
I
can
share.
You
send
you
my
information
in
the
chat
and
we
can
figure
out.
You
know
how
we
can.
You
know,
connect
the
dots.
D
B
D
A
We
partnered
with
him,
so
this
group
got
together
and
well.
This
group
nominally
representatives
from
each
of
the
hubs
put
together
an
open
storage
network
proposal
that
was
awarded
and
Damian
applied
through
the
CC
star
program
for
Alabama
a
m
and
has
a
a
pod
set
to
land
he's,
not
there
anymore.
But
Alabama.
A
m
will
be
a
a
note
on
that
Network
and
so
that's
something
we
could
talk
about
in
the
future.
B
Absolutely-
and
one
thing
I
want
to
highlight
about
that-
Dr
Damian
Clark
is,
is
an
amazing
individual,
but
you
know
my
vision
for
the
mscc
is
to
survive
long
after
I'm
gone
right
and
even
though
Dr
Clark
is
no
longer
at
excuse,
me
Alabama
a
m
his
work
that
he
did
there
through
the
CC
star
program
is
still
you
know,
active
now.
There's
a
interim
CIO,
Miss,
Kylie,
Nash
she's
doing
a
great
job
there
and
the
work
is
continuing
and
that's
ultimately
what
what
I
would
love
to
see?
B
B
Yes,
there
are
a
lot
of
collaborative
projects
that
have
been
connected
through
the
mscc
and
that's
something
again
that
we're
very
proud
of,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
You
know
something
as
formal
as
you
know,
the
CC
star
program
or
NSF
Grant.
It
could
be
something
you
know
that
you
know
your
institution
is
working
on
and
you
want
to
open
some
seats
to
you
know.
B
Other
universities,
hbcus
or
tcus
I
would
tell
you
that
I'm
always
impressed
when,
when
I
work
with
the
university
and
I'm
learning
some
of
the
activities
that
they're
having
and
it
it
is
refreshing
to
be
able
to
connect.
You
know
hbcus
to
other
universities
that
are
doing
something
similar
in
research
areas.
Right,
I,
think
that
you
know
when
we
start
talking
about
Innovation
and
collaboration,
there's
only
expansion,
only
good
things
that
can
happen
from
that.
C
So
I
I
have
a
quick
question
and
I
just
because
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
to
really
look
through
the
the
your
collaboration
materials
on
on
the
website
for
the
cyber
security
aspect
of
what
you're
working
on
are.
You
are
you
linked
in
with
the
trusted
CI
group
at
Indiana
and
Beyond
Indiana,
Illinois
and.
B
So,
yes,
we
are
LinkedIn
with
trusted.
Ti
again
we
we
don't
have
I,
can't
think
of
a
current
project
with
we're
doing
with
trusted.
Ci
I
met
with
them
last
week,
so
we
are
looking
at
ways
that,
as
a
group
now
some
of
our
member
institutions
are
doing
things
of
trusted.
Ci
I
I,
don't
have
any
amount
of
time.
I
can't
name
them
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
have
spoken
with
trusted
CI,
so
we
are
making
that
link
at
from
an
organizational
standpoint.
Well,.
C
That's
great
I,
I
guess
I
I
I
might
add
that
potentially
for
your
cyber
security
days
or
for
activities
going
forward,
there's
a
fellows
cohorts
that
have
been
active
geez
for
the
last
three
or
four
years
now,
and
you
know
it
might
be
a
nice
opportunity
for
the
fellows
to
to
talk
about.
You
know
their
experiences
and
the
the
training
and
then
and
then
the
projects
they
worked
on.
B
C
A
Put
J
on
the
spot,
but
Jay's
someone
who's
been
a
leader
in
this
group
in
cybern's,
the
intersection
of
cyber
security
and
data
science
and
Lawrence.
You
come
with
a
huge
background
in
cyber
security.
In
fact,
we
still
have
a
consultancy
as
I
understand
so
you're.
You
know
deep
into
this
space.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
connection
Jay
and
if,
if
you
had
any
thing
to
say
about
current
topics
or
groups,
you're
trying
to
get
together
keep
going
please
yeah.
F
Thank
you
Christine,
so,
just
very
quick
introduction,
myself
Lawrence
I'm,
a
professor
in
RIT,
Rochester
Institute
of
Technology
I've,
been
working
with
this
group
over
the
past.
I
mean
not
the
recent
months,
but
last
year,
mostly
that
hosting
webinars
trying
to
really
pushing
forward
data
science,
machine
learning
really
for
sub
security
purposes.
Of
course,
I
do
my
research
as
well.
F
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
working
on
right
now
is
really
try
to
create
curriculums
and
create
curating
data
sets,
and
it's
really
meaningful
to
teach
data
science
in
general.
For
practitioners,
we
see
that
a
lot
of
materials
out
there
I'm
actually
checking
through
the
some
of
the
links
that
was
posting.
F
The
chat,
one
of
the
things
that
there's
a
lot
of
data
science,
AIML
materials
out
there,
people
can
use,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
found
it
very
interesting
is
that
the
practical
real
world
cyber
security
data,
the
network
traffic,
for
example,
the
marks
they're
far
from
ideal
they're,
not
like
imagenet
out
there
that
everything's
very
ideal
very
realistic.
So,
for
example,
my
student,
my
RIT
student,
this
this
semester
in
my
class
talk
about
the
type
of
real
world
data
I
exposed
them
to
the
the
amount
of
pre-processing.
F
B
So
let
me
say
that
I'm
really
excited
that
that's
something
you're
working
on
I,
think
about
some
of
my
experience
when
I
first
got
into
real
world
projects
with
the
Department
of
Defense,
and
you
know
when
you
really
get
into
the
data.
You
know
when
I,
at
least
when
I
first
did
I
was
like
man.
This
isn't
like
what
I
learned
right
like
it's
not
the
same
and
it,
and
it
did
take
me
a
while
to
try
to
figure
out
okay.
B
Well,
here's
how
we
need
to
approach
analyzing
this
data,
because
it's
not
just
like
your
practice,
data
sets
and
and
from
the
dod
perspective,
it's
kind
of
like
you
know
you
can't
train
on
it
until
you're
in
it
right
because
of
the
level
of
security,
and
everything
like
that.
So
that
was
a
challenge.
So
to
hear
that
you
know,
somebody
is
addressing
that
at
a
high
level,
I'm
super
excited.
B
We
are
looking
at
potentially
having
or
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
could
have
a
sock
that
supports
some
of
our
our
institutions-
we're
not
there
yet,
but
if
we
do
get
that
I
would
love
to
work
with
you
on
kind
of
taking
some
of
your
work,
and
you
know
kind
of
spreading
that
out
amongst
our
institutions
right
that
knowledge
is
critical.
I
would
tell
you
I
know
that
there
are
some.
B
You
know
I'm
in
Atlanta
we
have
the
Cyber
Center
of
Excellence
out
at
Fort,
Gordon
and
I
know
that
there's
some
work
out
there
that's
kind
of
similar.
So
maybe
that's
we
don't
have
an
HPC,
that's
participating
now,
but
and
I
I
know
I'm
aware
of
this
from
my
military
experience,
but
there's
a
lot
of
things:
I
think
we
can.
We
can
do
to
partner
in
the
future.
So
I'd
love
to
you,
know
kind
of
sit
down
and
talk
with
you
and
figure
out
how
we
can
you.
F
Know
work
Let
me.
Let
me
I'll
put
my
email
in
my
in
the
chat
with
me
a
minute
one.
Other
thing
I
want
to
share
is
that
the
RIT
is
also
unless
a
designated
Center
of
Excellence
for
both
Education
and
Research.
We
have
some
training
programs
that
for
both
beginners
right
as
well
as
therefore
more
high
level
in
in-depth
kind
of
a
security
analyst.
F
It's
definitely
I
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
more
see
how
we
can
help
you
with,
and
one
of
the
things
that
for
underrepresented,
minority
institutions,
hbcus
and
so
on,
is
is
we
we
do.
We
are
working
with
a
lot
of
local
state
government
to
see
that
what
we
can
do
to
get
scholarships
and
things
like
that
and
Rit.
If
you
don't
know,
we
also
have
ntids
the
different
kinds
of
other
represented
minorities
is
the
hard
of
hearing
deaf.
E
F
Then
they
actually
have
a
very
large
population
to
interesting
cyber
security
kind
of
jobs
and
we're
also
helping
this
group
of
people
sort
of
think
about
creating
curriculum.
They
will
feed
their
needs
as
well.
So
I'll
put
my
my
email
address
in
the
chat.
Maybe
you
and
I
can
connect
a
little
bit.
I'll
introduce
you
I'm,
not
in
charge
of
everything
that
I
talk
about
so
I
do
want
to
connect
you
the
right
person
and
see
how
we
can
help
you
for
your
members,
for
your
institutions,
I.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us,
Lawrence
I
hope.
If
nothing
else,
we've
opened
up
to
a
dialogue.
If
there's
something
that
the
group
represented
here
can
help
out
with
feel
free
to
call
upon
us.
Those
of
us
who
are
members
who
will
continue
to
look
for
opportunities
to
connect
and
if
nothing
else,
I
think
the
message
is.
You
know
that
we
should
stay
up
to
date
on
what
the
mscc
is
doing
and
to
check
in
early
when
there
are
chances
to
partner.
B
A
E
Okay,
it
stretches
into
two
weeks
when
you
do
it
all,
but
anyway,
I
was
also
just
gonna
say
we
would
look
forward
to
sort
of
maybe
getting
together
with
you
and
seeing
how
we
can
sort
of
amplify
and
and
and
collaborate
across
the
different
efforts
that
we
have.
I
know
that
you
know
the
folks
who
go
to
super
Computing
and
others
aren't
necessarily.
You
know
it's
it's
the
larger
centers,
but
we
really
want
to
sort
of
support
what
you're
doing
and
help
amplify
that
across
the
whole
country.
E
As
much
as
we
can
so
look
forward
to
seeing
you
there
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
exposure
into
perk.
I
know
other
folks
are
going
to
be
at
that.
So
I
think
there's
some
good
opportunities
to
sort
of
get
together
and
and
in
three
dimensions,
actually
try
and
figure
out
some
good
collaborations
in
the
near
future.
Absolutely.
B
B
Next
year,
we'll
definitely
have
a
presence
that
we're
even
looking
at
maybe
having
a
bath
at
Park,
so
we're
trying
to
lay
it
all
out.
And
if
it's
not
me,
there
will
be
a
representative
from
from
mscc
but
always
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me,
and
if
it's
not
something,
that's
my
specific
area
of
expertise.
I
can
definitely
align
you
with
who
that
who
that
is.
