Our Mission



Our Mission



The CyREN Lab advances the cyber simulation domain and cybersecurity data collection through research, modeling, experimentation, product evaluation, and collaboration activities. We aim to engineer a simulation testbed that enables on-demand environment configuration and customization for test-specific environment controls. This R&D effort builds upon traditional simulation design and honeypot research to produce realistically camouflaged decoy simulations. Such simulations are capable of empirical cyber intelligence collection, hypothesis testing, and incident response planning.
