The Critical Infrastructure Security Institute (CISI), located on the Texas Tech University Innovation Campus, will become the world leader in integrating cyber and cyber-physical critical infrastructure security research through the establishment of a highly secure research facility for testing the real security and resilience of our nation’s critical infrastructure systems in furtherance of the homeland security mission.

CISI is establishing a national academic/industry/government consortium that will apply real infrastructure design, threat intelligence, cyber analytics, and research capacity to the elucidation and remediation of critical infrastructure vulnerability. CISI is studying strategies to protect critical infrastructure among DHS CISA’s 16 critical sectors from both domestic and nation-state threats, resulting in policy analysis and formulation and a stronger, more resilient national infrastructure.
