The UMass Lowell Cyber Security Operations Center (Cyber SOC) brings together industry expertise, academic resources and workforce development to strengthen cybersecurity across Massachusetts.
An integral part of the Lowell Innovation Network Corridor (LINC), the Cyber SOC provides cybersecurity services to municipalities, nonprofits and businesses, including small- and medium-sized companies in the defense industrial base.
Managed by CyberTrust Massachusetts, the center is part of a statewide network of security operations centers working to improve cyber resilience while preparing students for careers in cybersecurity.

Supporting Massachusetts' Defense Economy

By supporting companies within the defense industrial base, the Cyber SOC helps strengthen the cybersecurity of businesses that contribute to critical national security missions.
The center also reinforces UMass Lowell's commitment to advancing defense innovation through research, industry partnerships and workforce development.
