Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) College of Business have received two grants totaling $1 million to help companies better detect insider threats and enhance computer security. UTSA researchers were awarded $797,000 in funding from the Naval Postgraduate School, the U.S. Navy's national security research university, as part of a three-year $1.4 million contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate Cyber Security Division.
