The UH West O`ahu Cyber Security Research Laboratory (CSRL) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Scholarship Program (CySP) grant funded initiative established to provide students with unique opportunities to combine cyber security education and skills to promote the exploration and development of advanced knowledge and capabilities in an applied research environment.
The CSRL provides internship opportunities where students participate in faculty guided applied analysis and research related to the understanding and improvement of security and resiliency for critical information infrastructures and systems at the local, regional, and national level. The CSRL coordinates with the UH West O`ahu Cyber Security Coordination Center (CSCC) with cybersecurity research, analysis, and outreach initiatives.
