Our Why

The Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII, pronounced sī-man-ē) introduces a cybersecure energy-ROI for energy dominant manufacturing and supply chains that secures and sustains American leadership in global manufacturing competitiveness for decades.

This national network of members will drive impact across the nation and solve the biggest challenges facing cybersecurity in the U.S manufacturing industry.

The primary goal of CyManII is to research, develop, and implement a national vision for manufacturing cybersecurity that unleashes U.S. innovation. The technical innovations that we discover will drive a cybersecure and energy dominant U.S. manufacturing enterprise and workforce.

This is the moment for a revolution in intelligent manufacturing to enable a dramatic increase in overall equipment energy dominance, which reduces cost and maximizes innovation. The unique combination of our expertise in energy dominance, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing empowers our team to take this innovative approach in collaboration with our nationally recognized partner organizations.
