Our Mission

The vision of Cyber-X is to unite industry and academia in a variety of expertise areas–including engineering, computer and network science, and law and policy–to secure the Industrial Internet of Things in our ever-changing and increasingly risk-averse technological society.

X Equals

Internet of Things

With the number of connected devices growing rapidly, Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming more diverse and widely used, which means that threats to those devices are constantly evolving. It’s now more important than ever to secure IoT devices.

Manufacturing

As the manufacturing industry and processes become more technologically advanced, we must consider security threats that attack our machines, computers, and ultimately, the integrity of the products that are created.

Law and Policy

A vital aspect of the Industrial Internet of Things, law and policy is an increasingly significant area where attention is needed. Geospatial data laws, privacy-preserving sensors, and trust and credibility are just a few areas of growing importance.

Healthcare and Medical Devices

The world of connected devices is continuously changing, including medical devices and other aspects of the healthcare industry. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) takes connected devices to a more personal, human-centric level. Heart monitors, diabetes regulators, and vital patient records are only a few areas of healthcare that are affected by IoT.

Energy and Utilities

Critical infrastructure is yet another industry that is changing with the growing impact of IoT-enabled devices.  Therefore, ensuring security in oil and gas, water, and electricity is more important than ever, as these areas directly affect our daily lives.
