Lone Star Cyber Forge: Leading the Digital Defense of Critical Infrastructure in Texas and Beyond
The Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII) is a public-private partnership funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) to innovate the next generation of cyber defense capabilities and provide comprehensive cybersecurity training for American workers.
Originally rooted in cybersecurity for manufacturing, the CyManII’s mission has grown to include protecting critical infrastructure in an increasingly dynamic threat environment, developing capabilities that have direct applications for the energy grid, water utilities, K-12 infrastructure, health care, and beyond. To accomplish that mission, CyManII has created the Lone Star Cyber Forge (LSCF) to deliver new capabilities and services to prevent, detect, and mitigate cyber threats for critical infrastructure owners and operators and other customers.
Where CymanII focuses on cyber innovation and developing technical tools – such as secure defensible architectures, cyber-physical passports, and simulation tech stacks – LSCF focuses deployment and impact.
