Cyber Security and Information Sciences

We research, develop, evaluate, and deploy tools and systems designed to ensure that national security missions can be accomplished successfully despite cyber attacks. We also develop advanced hardware, software, and algorithms for processing datasets from a range of sources, including speech, imagery, text, and network traffic.
