LSU Shreveport Cyber Collaboratory Boosts High-Tech Innovation in Northwestern Louisiana
April 05, 2021
Airmen from Barksdale Air Force Base use the LSUS Cyber Collaboratory for training and professional development.
Through the new LSU Shreveport Cyber Collaboratory and partnerships, students are starting to see what it actually means to boost high-tech innovation in northwestern Louisiana.
“It’s cheaper and faster for us to partner with LSUS,” said Russ Mathers, director of STRIKEWERX, a hub of the Air Force Global Strike Command. “And whether it’s their hologram table or 3D-printing or the new laser cutter they’re getting, the Cyber Collaboratory is providing the Air Force with capabilities and skills we need; things nobody else is doing.”
The LSU Shreveport Cyber Collaboratory is a major boost to LSU’s ongoing effort to develop homegrown cybersecurity talent to defend the state and nation and vital industries.
