Welcome to the Oregon Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (OCCoE)

Established by Oregon House Bill 2049 (2023), the OCCoE represents a collaborative effort among: Portland State University, Oregon State University and University of Oregon

Our Mission:

  • Enhance Cybersecurity: Support the State CISO in tackling the increasing digital threats.
  • Innovate: Leverage cutting-edge research and solutions.
  • Collaborate: Unite world-renowned experts, industry leaders, and passionate students.

The mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world applications in cybersecurity. Through collaborative educational and workforce development programs, research initiatives, industry outreach programs, and educational workshops, we aim to empower individuals, local governments, regional governments, special districts, tribal governments, educational service districts, public school districts, and other public entities with the knowledge and tools to combat cyber threats and improve their cyber resilience.
