FY 2024 Community Project Funding Requests
Project Name: Digital Forensics and Cybercrime Investigations Suite
Request Amount: $1,874,701.56
Intended Recipient: John Jay College of Criminal Justice
Street Address of Intended Recipient: 524 West 59th St, New York, New York, 10019
Rep. Nadler’s Financial Disclosure
Purpose of Request: The project will produce cutting-edge research on emerging technologies, including the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Web 3.0, and the metaverse, to deal with the “cyber threats of tomorrow” by anticipating new threats to U.S. homeland security and national defense and identifying ways to detect, investigate, and defend against these threats. The 2023 White House National Cybersecurity Strategy identified emerging technologies as technologies of concern because of their widespread deployment and integration into U.S. society and critical infrastructure, and the security vulnerabilities associated with dependencies on these technologies. The cutting-edge research proposed by John Jay College of Criminal Justice would assist U.S. local, state, and federal agencies by developing new scientific protocols and forensic procedures to help ensure that emerging technologies are properly vetted and secured, making it more difficult for criminal syndicates and foreign state actors to take advantage of these technologies and cause harm to the United States. A state-of-the-art, fully-equipped Cybercrime Investigations Laboratory and Research Facility will enable more advanced research and analysis of ongoing developments in emerging technologies and include the necessary equipment to expand and enhance our efforts at the scale and pace needed to keep up with rapidly evolving public safety and national security threats. John Jay College has significant experience informing industry practices through its research endeavors in security management, emergency management, computer science and information security, and digital forensics and cybersecurity, and the research and training initiatives of the Center for Cybercrime Studies. These research results have been put to use key federal security agencies including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the US Military.
