Our Vision

The Boston Cybernetics Institute (BCI) is a public benefit corporation, founded in 2017 by three former researchers from MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
The mission of BCI is to promote and provide cyber-security education and training in furtherance of the national defense of the United States of America.
The best means of accomplishing this mission is by combining direct education and training with customized curriculum development.
In order for BCI to deliver the best education in the latest techniques, we must also conduct research, systems analyses, and consulting for ongoing programs.

Education

A well-defined problem is half the solution.
We transform large vague problems into more manageable descriptions so mission commanders can triage their resources to the right solutions.

Systems Analysis

We conduct research in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity to provide novel options to decision-makers.
