The UTSA Cyber Center for Security and Analytics conducts high-impact, applied cybersecurity and data science research, development, operations and training to address imperative societal issues and national challenges.

The center contributes to science and technology by innovating bleeding-edge, end-to-end practical solutions, rooted in strong theoretical foundations and validated through large-scale empirical experimentation.

We foster sustainable academic, private and public sector collaborations to empower and facilitate translational research activities. The Cyber Center also executes hands-on research workforce development activities to empower the next-generation of trainees in focused and multidisciplinary research areas, including cyber forensics, data science and machine learning, systems security, cyber-physical systems, self-driving networking and advanced cyber infrastructure.

As a contractor, the Cyber Center designs, develops, evaluates, delivers and maintains cybersecurity and data science tooling capabilities and plugable agile software to private, state and federal entities.
