Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis Center (CINA)

CINA (and all its active research) was terminated by the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) in April 2025. 

The Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis (CINA) Center is part of the prestigious network of DHS Centers of Excellence and is funded by the DHS Science and Technology Directorate’s Office of University Programs to bring together leading experts and researchers to pursue multidisciplinary approaches to address the disruption of criminal activities across the physical and cyber spaces.

This George Mason-led consortium will be advancing science while pursuing the development of cutting edge solutions and innovative educational and training activities to support today’s and tomorrow’s workforce.

In order to support the disruption of such activities, the CINA Center will establish an ecosystem of innovation in research, training and education. Led by George Mason University, CINA will build on a foundation of multidisciplinary research across a number of George Mason’s Colleges:

I’m Zeinab Shariff, a Cybersecurity Engineering student with a strong interest in building secure, practical, and human-centered cyber solutions. I care deeply about making cybersecurity more approachable, especially for students and early-career professionals navigating the field.

At onAir, I serve as a Cyber Hub Curator, where I help curate content, support community engagement, and contribute to discussions that make cybersecurity easier to understand and more relevant to real-world problems. My focus is on fostering a space where people can learn, ask questions, and grow together in a field that can often feel overwhelming or inaccessible.

I’m really glad you’re here, and I hope this hub helps you learn something new and useful along the way:)
