\nAnnual innovation challenge will connect students and faculty with industry mentors,\u00a0datasets\u00a0and applied research priorities\u00a0
\nReliaQuest and Florida State University today announced a new partnership designed to advance research and real-world application of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. Made possible by a $1.5 million philanthropic investment from ReliaQuest, the collaboration will establish the annual ReliaQuest Innovation Challenge at FSU to incentivize faculty research into some of the most complex use-cases for this dynamic field. \u00a0
\nThe partnership brings together academic research\u00a0to solve real-world industry challenges, accelerating\u00a0practical breakthroughs in how organizations secure data, manage AI\u00a0performance\u00a0and operationalize intelligence.\u00a0
\n\u201cThe cybersecurity landscape is only getting more complex, and challenge always creates opportunity for innovation,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0ReliaQuest\u00a0Founder and CEO Brian Murphy, who is a Florida State University\u00a0alumnus\u00a0and trustee. \u201cThis partnership will allow us to continue to push what\u2019s possible\u00a0for\u00a0AI\u00a0in cybersecurity,\u00a0bridging the gap between academic research and real-world application\u00a0during one of the most\u00a0important\u00a0times for our industry.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0
\nReliaQuest\u2019s\u00a0investment\u00a0represents\u00a0FSU\u2019s largest gift to date supporting AI and cybersecurity, and the interdisciplinary nature of the collaboration is expected to engage faculty, graduate\u00a0students\u00a0and undergraduate students across the university.\u00a0
\n\u201cThis generous gift from ReliaQuest embodies Florida State University\u2019s innovative spirit and focus on cutting-edge technology solutions,\u201d said FSU President Richard McCullough. \u201cIt will allow us to bolster our partnership with ReliaQuest and apply the power of AI in solving critical global challenges in cybersecurity while helping to train the next generation of innovators and leaders in Florida. We are deeply grateful for ReliaQuest\u2019s commitment and the dedication of their CEO, Brian Murphy, to advancing FSU in this important area.\u201d\u00a0
\nThe\u00a0gift also\u00a0establishes\u00a0the\u00a0ReliaQuest\u00a0Interdisciplinary Digital Badge Program in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity. This program\u00a0will provide students with hands-on training in AI and cybersecurity, paired with mentorship from\u00a0ReliaQuest\u00a0professionals and exposure to advanced technology environments.\u00a0\u00a0
\nTogether, the initiatives are designed to deepen understanding of how AI can be deployed responsibly and effectively in cybersecurity, while strengthening the pipeline of young professionals who can translate research into practical tools and techniques. The partnership reflects the growing importance of collaboration between industry and higher education to tackle complex, real-world challenges and deliver measurable impact for organizations and communities.\u00a0
