We’re just getting started.

Welcome to CyberBay: the nation’s epicenter for cybersecurity and AI innovation—uniting world-class higher education, military partnership, and private-sector excellence to protect our nation’s digital borders. Powered by the University of South Florida, Cyber Florida, Bellini Capital, the USF Bellini College of AI, Cybersecurity, and Computing, and the USF Institute for AI+X, CyberBay is where talent, technology, and national security converge to build the future of digital defense.
