Aug 24, 2024

There is a cutting-edge UTSA facility at Port San Antonio where manufacturers can explore and test the latest, state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions.

The facility is run by the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII), established under the U.S. Department of Energy in 2020 to combat vulnerabilities and drive fundamentally new innovations in industrial security. The institute, led by UTSA, has already trained over 30,000 professionals.

Alvaro Espinosa Mercado spends his days working at the Cybersecurity for Manufacturing (C4M) Hub, located in the heart of Port San Antonio.

Companies across the region visit the facility for applied research, engineering support, and hands-on training in secure smart manufacturing.
