About the CCRE

The SDSU Cybersecurity Center for Research and Education (CCRE) engages students and a world-class interdisciplinary faculty to tackle critical national and societal cybersecurity challenges, and serves as a catalyst in Southern California to produce high-quality and diverse cybersecurity professionals and researchers.

In the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity, the CCRE was formed in recognition of:

1. the acute need for a skilled cybersecurity workforce with state-of-the-art and transferable knowledge;
2. the inherent inter-disciplinary nature of cybersecurity, and;
3. the inextricable link between research and education.

The CCRE gratefully acknowledges support from the NSF, ONR, DoD, DoE
