McCrary Institute set to strengthen OT Cyber Coalition with policy, research, infrastructure expertise

The OT Cyber Coalition announced Wednesday that the McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security has joined its ranks, expanding the coalition’s diverse network of vendors and experts working to strengthen cybersecurity across OT (operational technology) environments.

The McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security at Auburn University is dedicated to defending the systems that power our national and economic security, our communities, and way of life. Positioned at the intersection of policy, applied research, and public-private partnerships, the Institute serves as a trusted convener of national leaders, shaping strategy, aligning priorities, and driving real-world cybersecurity solutions to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure.
