University strengths in cybersecurity, research, critical infrastructure and design position researchers and students to support Army projects and priorities.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 鈥� 星空无限传媒 U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) have entered into a formal agreement on advanced research, prototype development, education and training, and technology transfer to build cyber capabilities for the Army under U.S. Cyber Command. The education partnership agreement (EPA) establishes areas of collaboration and joint research and development from cybersecurity to critical infrastructure to data visualization.

The partnership with LSU will be led by ARCYBER鈥檚 Cyber Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC), an Army Technology Transfer Program-approved laboratory responsible for research and capability development. ArCTIC operates ARCYBER鈥檚 innovation hub at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Ga.

The partnership will engage LSU researchers and students, as well as enhance LSU鈥檚 cyber-physical environments for critical infrastructure security.

The agreement includes:

• Shared access to university and command facilities.
• Lab enhancements with defense research equipment.
• ARCYBER personnel to support science and technology courses and research.
• Researcher, faculty, and student participation in defense projects.
• Development of intellectual property and technology.
• Joint pursuit of critical defense research initiatives.

鈥淟SU鈥檚 proud military legacy is core to our identity as an institution,鈥� LSU President Wade Rousse said. 鈥淭he partnership with U.S. Army Cyber Command underscores our research excellence, and more importantly, offers our students and researchers an incredible opportunity to translate their technical knowledge into real-world results. We鈥檙e honored to work with the Army to secure our state and nation.鈥�

 鈥淭his partnership with LSU demonstrates our dedication to uniting diverse talent, innovative ideas and advanced research to enhance the Army鈥檚 cyber readiness,鈥� Lt. Gen. Christopher Eubank, commanding general of U.S. Army Cyber Command, said. 鈥淏y collaborating directly with LSU鈥檚 students, faculty and researchers, we are fostering relationships that will drive innovation and equip the next generation of cyber leaders. Collectively, we are contributing to a more secure future for both Louisiana and the nation.鈥�

The partnership builds upon LSU鈥檚 2022 designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) by the National Security Agency. The designation is the agency鈥檚 most technical, focused on memory forensics, digital forensics, malware analysis and reverse engineering鈥攁ll necessary tools in understanding and preventing cyberattacks on defense and industry. The ARCYBER effort is the latest in a growing portfolio of LSU cyber research and talent collaborations with national labs, security agencies, defense and intelligence communities and industry.

The ARCYBER and LSU research partnership originated from shared work on critical infrastructure; particularly industrial control systems (ICS). 星空无限传媒 incorporating cybersecurity assets into its industry-scale research facilities, offering nationally unique lab environments where advanced cyberattacks against real assets can be identified, experienced and solved.
