ARC is where cybersecurity research meets the real world. Using real systems and industrial environments, ARC studies how new technologies reshape cyber-physical risk, helping organizations better understand and defend the critical infrastructure they depend on.
As AI, automation, and connected technologies become part of critical infrastructure, the security challenges become more complex. A threat that once affected data can now disrupt physical operations. Understanding those risks before they become problems is what drives our work. The research we publish helps organizations better understand and defend the systems they depend on.
Cyber threats no longer stop at the network. As digital and operational environments become more connected, organizations face new risks that traditional testing alone can’t fully explain.
Research helps close that gap by revealing how evolving threats behave before they become problems, giving organizations the insight to strengthen their security posture.
ARC operates two interconnected research environments across three global locations in the U.S., Amsterdam, and Tokyo, bringing together real industrial systems, AI, private 5G, and operational technology to study cyber-physical threats.
Within these environments, our researchers evaluate new technologies, validate AI-OT scenarios, and study how cyber threats move across connected operational systems. They also collaborate with industry, government, and academic partners to advance research that improves the security of critical infrastructure.
The OT Threat Research program transforms those findings into vulnerability research and technical guidance that help organizations strengthen detections and better defend OT environments.
Inside the Advanced Research Center
The best way to understand ARC is to experience it in action. From AI, autonomy, and private 5G to industrial control systems, ARC brings together the technologies reshaping industrial environments, and the research helping organizations prepare for emerging risk.
This video offers a look inside the environments where ARC studies OT/ICS, AI, and private 5G under real attack conditions.
