New cyber defense center opening in Baton Rouge

The Louisiana National Guard today announced plans to establish a $1.5 million cybersecurity center at the Water Campus where professionals from the LANG will conduct cyber missions alongside Stephenson Technologies Corp., and Radiance Technologies, a private defense contractor.
The center, to be located in the 1200 Brickyard Lane office building on the Water Campus, will promote a safer cyber community in Louisiana through information sharing, training and partnering among federal and state agencies, academia and industry experts.
Gov. John Bel Edwards and Maj. Gen. Glenn Curtis signed a Memorandum of Understanding that applies state resources to complete the cyber center. Joining them in the MOU signing were President and CEO Jeff Moulton of LSU’s Stephenson Technologies Corp., or STC, and CEO Bill Bailey of Radiance Technologies.
LANG will lease the 11,000-square-foot space directly from Commercial Properties Realty Trust, and will sublease 3,000 square feet each to LSU’s STC and to Radiance Technologies.
More than 40 LANG members periodically will use LC3 for training and cybersecurity operations. Meanwhile, STC will relocate 15 existing jobs and add five new jobs at the cyber center, with Radiance Technologies retaining 22 existing jobs and adding 10.
I guess some politicians need positive economic news - however minor it is.
I thought all of this was on the LSU South Campus already.

Louisiana National Guard doing cyber defense. Yeah...I’m going to guess about 2% of those people are competent.

Maybe they will hire LSU student workers to fill the cubicles.

For a while, I thought it was an office building for Lemoine Construction Company.

That's like 3 used Dells running XP worth of computers if you're using defense department money.

Nope. S Campus has a cyber range and it's used to the train the Louisiana National Guard's Cyber Protection Team (CPT), which is a 39-person unit specifically activated by NG Adjutant General in the event of a cyber attack, just like the ones in Sabine and Morehouse. CPT was originally envisioned to be able to respond to potential compromises of critical infrastructure, but talk to the Adjutant General and he is adamant
1. Without the CPT and the support of professionals from some of those organizations listed, those schools may not have opened on time, and
2. The Emergency Support Function (ESF-17) organized in part by the Gov Cyber Commission was integral in coordinating response, and that was led by STC (LSU's affiliate for defense work).
This is huge news, way bigger than available. You need to look big picture.
And it's not a $1.5M center - that $1.5m investment is for the Guard's lease and the necessary security provisions to conduct work.
Beyond having a dedicated Guard response and training environment for the Guard in the Capitol region (which didn't exist until Tuesday), this puts the Guard directly in the fight and puts them next door to organizations - STC and Radiance, a $700M+ DOD contractor - who are actively working on solutions for Federal customers.
I wouldn't call this major economic development news. I'd call it the no-BS people doing important work that will be a precursor to major economic development news.

Great.
More bumbling bureaucrats to go thorough our browsing history and harass people curious enough to google a lot of stuff brought up in the OT.

The losers on this board will bitch about it when they can’t get a job there and have to move to Texas just to find a job
