Project Portfolio
Cybersecurity is more than protection—it is enabling trust, unlocking innovation, and supporting the digital systems driving our economy. As threats, technologies, and standards evolve rapidly, organizations must too.
At the NCCoE, we believe cybersecurity progress requires prioritization, collaboration, innovation, and optimism. These values shape how we select projects, convene partners, and advance practical approaches to design and deploy secure technologies.
Our NCCoE Project Portfolio document provides an overview of the NCCoE’s research priorities and active projects.
Our Strategic Pillars
Projects are organized across four guiding pillars, designed to address a wide variety of cybersecurity challenges, as shown below.
- Data Protection: Securing sensitive information by applying cryptography, identity, and privacy-preserving technologies.
- Trusted Enterprise: Securing core IT infrastructure, encouraging secure software development, and driving zero trust adoption.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Advancing AI by focusing on securing AI and the use of AI for cybersecurity.
- Resilient Embedded Systems: Securing the Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Operational Technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT) that power our infrastructure and everyday lives.
