Commonwealth Cyber Initiative
The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) is a highly connected network that engages higher education institutions, industry, and government, as well as non-governmental and economic development organizations.
CCI connects four regional nodes across Virginia, each led by a higher education institution, with the coordinating hub located in Arlington, Va., at the Virginia Tech Research Center.
The four Regional Nodes, encompassing Central Virginia, Coastal Virginia, Northern Virginia, and Southwest Virginia, are vibrant centers of research, learning, and innovation tailored to their local ecosystems.
The Hub is the core of CCI. It coordinates programs, provides support, and houses strong research capabilities, providing a platform for research and innovation growth across the network.
The nodes are each led by a public institution of higher education and engage industry, local government, and colleges and universities in their region. Together, the CCI Network engages 46 institutions of higher education.
