About

The Ellis Research Institute is dedicated to cyber security, with a focus on informing strategy, providing thought leadership, and aiding decision makers through public research. The institute combines in-house research with external expertise to create relevant, comprehensive, and vetted perspectives on issues affecting modern cyber security. Research conducted by the Ellis Research Institute is provided freely to the public, allowing the institute to remain independent of outside influences.

Cyber strategy requires a wide view of the problem set, with an understanding of the complex and often interdependent relationships between technology, people, and processes. At the Ellis Research Institute, we take a holistic view of strategy and address security at a variety of levels. This approach allows us to understand the “why” which ties together the “how” of defensive and offensive tactics.
