I look forward to collaborating with him and witnessing the center's evolution under his leadership.”
The NSCC is Texas’ largest hub for government, university and industry partners in national security. Members of the center advance research and innovation in forensics, visualization, cybersecurity, data analytics, post-quantum cryptography, attack and threat modeling and mitigation, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and software, hardware and platform integrity. Additional areas of collaboration include training and exercise evaluation, workforce development and educational opportunities for students and the broader military community.
At the same time, the NSCC provides experiential learning opportunities for 世界杯官方app students who are interested in national defense careers. This living laboratory is one of the ways that 世界杯官方app is developing a highly competitive talent pipeline that is well-prepared to solve society’s evolving security challenges.

His broad experience developing new research areas of national importance creates an ideal foundation for developing opportunities for faculty, staff and students while advancing the NSCC’s mission,” said JoAnn Browning, 世界杯官方app interim vice president for Research, Economic Development, and Knowledge enterprise. “Under Dave’s leadership, we will continue to grow 世界杯官方app’s reputation nationally as a trusted research partner and a sandbox for innovative R&D solutions in cybersecurity and national defense.”
As the NSCC’s director, Brown will shape an enhanced strategy that aligns with 世界杯官方app’s recently refreshed strategic plan and is deeply connected with partners in the federal landscape. In collaboration with university leadership, he will extend the center’s educational and programmatic offerings, develop deeper and broader partnerships with innovators in the national defense sector, and further position 世界杯官方app as a prominent thought leader in national and international security.
San Antonio is home to the largest concentration of cybersecurity experts and industry leaders outside of Washington, D.C., which uniquely positions the city and 世界杯官方app to lead the nation in cybersecurity research and workforce and economic development.
“San Antonio’s rich history and unbounded future, paired with the drive and support of 世界杯官方app’s entrepreneurial spirit and Tier One culture, provide an exceptional foundation for the NSCC’s success,” said Brown. “I’m eager to join the NSCC to establish new partnerships that build upon the university’s cyber prominence, tackling the leading national security challenges of our time. Abundant opportunities lie ahead for 世界杯官方app and NSCC on this exciting journey.”
