About

The Secure Cyber Lab strives to discover, train, enable and empower. Having a secure future requires a next generation workforce that can advance society through leveraging the vitality of cyberspace while not succumbing to its vulnerabilities.​ How we accomplish this is through an integrated academic model combining an anchor of computer science, information technology, and strategic studies (social science). ​ 

We treat cyber security as a technical, political, social, economic, organizational, and behavioral challenge in a technically fluid environment and create integration mechanisms that bring people together to accomplish new research, translate that research into education, applied technical and policy, workforce development, and economic development outcomes. 

Leveraging the integration of computer science, information technology and strategic studies through the Ohio Cyber Range Institute, the Secure Cyber Lab has significant computing and multidisciplinary capacity to address cybersecurity concerns.
