Center for Cyber and Homeland Security

Our Mission and Vision

The Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at Auburn University is a nonpartisan think tank that works to develop innovative strategies to address current and future threats to the United States. We convene leading experts and practitioners for executive-level events, publish policy-relevant analysis, and provide expert testimony to Congress on critical issues and challenges related to cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, counterterrorism, and homeland security. The Center is part of the McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security, and drives the policy component of the Institute’s work.
