About Us

The Cyber Safety and Ethics Initiative is a unique non-profit partnership between the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), numerous Rochester area school districts, other higher education institutions and private schools, and regional offices of four national organizations, including:

  • The Internet Keepsafe Coalition (iKeepSafe.org)
  • The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)
  • Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) Rochester Chapter
  • InfraGard Member Alliance (IMA of Rochester), a program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

A primary concern of the CSEI is to ensure that cyber safety and ethics curriculum can be developed, mapped to state and national education standards and that teachers and other k-12 grade staff can be sufficiently trained in related subject areas.
