About Iviry, LLC
Iviry was established by a US Marine Corps veteran out of a passion for providing technology and cyber-related solutions for organizations within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). With the emergence of new technologies and breakthrough innovations in fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Cloud Services and others, both the overall pace of change and the implications associated with such rapid change can be problematic to grasp and more so to manage. Moreover, with the business community’s reliance on technology expanding just as rapidly, the stark reality is that vulnerabilities are being exploited that much more readily.
As a proud partner with the US Department of Defense in provisioning classified systems management, large infrastructure solutions and cyber security support services, Iviry is well-equipped to assist DoD contractors in navigating what can be a truly complex and sometimes confusing landscape of technology choices and cyber-related threats. Our team is located throughout the United States and abroad providing innovative solutions to complex business problems through a dedicated team of subject matter experts, experienced consultants, and certified cyber security specialists.
About Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI)
The Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI) conducts research and education that enhances the resiliency of the nation’s critical infrastructures and the businesses and public entities that own and operate those assets and systems.
CIRI is funded by a $20 million five-year grant from the Department of Homeland Security. It is led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with collaborators from other U.S. universities and national labs.
With an emphasis on outputs-oriented research, education and workforce development, and early and continuous engagement with end users and homeland security practitioners, CIRI will explore the organizational, policy, business, and technical dimensions of critical infrastructure’s dependence on cyber assets. CIRI will examine how computer hardware and software both contribute to and threaten resiliency and how industry makes decisions about cyber assets which contribute to resilience.
A significant focus of the CIRI will be on transitioning research outputs for use by DHS operational components, other homeland security end users, policymakers, decision makers across all levels of industry and government, and community leaders.
