In June 2008, the Cyber Conflict Research Consortium of organizations investigating cyber terrorism, of which Miami University is a member, received a $3 million grant from the Department of Homeland Security to develop a crisis management simulator for the financial services sector.

The Center for Business Excellence is managing Miami’s role in the consortium and provided funding for Yvette Harman (Finance) to help work with external financial services experts in identifying how major broker/dealer organizations understand and manage crisis events involving information technology. Other members of the research consortium will take information gathered by the Center and outside experts and use it to develop a crisis management simulation tool that can be used to run live exercises involving actual financial institutions.
