Researching the systems powering our nation
Our researchers focus on the science mission of enhancing security and resilience of complex cyber-physical systems, or systems of cyber physical systems. By looking into the components, researchers improve critical cyber physical resilience and security for critical infrastructure that supports our national defense and intelligence agencies.
Research Areas
Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-Physical Systems
The Cyber Sensing and Analytics group focuses on threat analysis, operational technology cybersecurity, and advanced detection of adversarial activity. We confront real-world cybersecurity problems by exploring innovative technologies and methodologies that push the boundaries of current science and engineering.
Energy and Control Systems Security
Energy and Control Systems Security
Researches and develops security and resilience science to address risks to critical national infrastructure, including control systems and networks. The group’s focus is on infrastructure important to the nation’s economic security, including infrastructure related to the energy industry, manufacturing, vehicles, and buildings.
Vulnerability Sciences
Vulnerability Sciences
Ninety percent of reported security incidents in software result from exploits against defects in design or code. ORNL's researchers focus on reducing this percentage to better secure critical infrastructure within the U.S.
