Center for Secure Cyberspace

Center for Secure Cyberspace

The Center for Secure Cyberspace (CSC) is committed to advancing interdisciplinary, top-tier cybersecurity research, providing practical, real-world solutions, fostering professional networks, and facilitating dynamic discussions and collaborations. Our researchers engage in innovative projects across a broad spectrum of cybersecurity domains, including reverse engineering, malware analysis, blockchain technology, networking, artificial intelligence, digital forensics, and machine learning applications.

Currently, the CSC is playing a pivotal role in establishing a fully functional, student-centric Security Operations Center (SOC) at Louisiana Tech University. Located in the student center, the SOC is primarily staffed by students who will receive industry-standard training from Splunk. This unique training opportunity, combined with hands-on experience, equips students with the skills necessary for successful careers in cybersecurity. Participants can also engage in faculty-led research projects, with the potential to contribute to peer-reviewed publications. Additionally, students at Louisiana Tech can earn a Louisiana Board of Regents (BoR) approved undergraduate Cybersecurity Certificate, as well as CompTIA certifications in Network+ and Security+.

Louisiana Tech University has been designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity Research and Education, reinforcing its commitment to this mission. The CSC facilitates cybersecurity initiatives for both undergraduate and graduate students, providing access to high-quality coursework in computer science, cyber engineering, and related fields. For more information about our academic offerings, please explore the Computer Science undergraduate and graduate programs, the Cyber Engineering program, and the PhD in Cyberspace Engineering.
