Our Mission

What?

Here at Red Cell , we provide hands-on experience using structured analytic techniques and critical thinking to examine real-world issues. Be it criminal, cyber, terror, biological, physical, or natural threats we teach adversarial and defensive thinking, identification of blind spots and points of weakness and potential exploit in systems in place today. We facilitate simulated security exercises examining various scenarios that allow students to evolve their way of thinking.

Why?

We exist to promote the research, practice and application of structured analytics, critical thinking and visual analytics. Our goal at Red Cell is to emphasize the importance and benefits of stepping into the mind of an adversary. Thinking how to attack is just as important as thinking how to defend. We seek to provide a fun outlet and social community to apply important analytical skills and to practice teamwork and briefing.

Who?

Red Cell is an IST organization that is open to all active PSU students, undergraduate or graduate, in good standing. While we are housed within IST, and many of our members are SRA or Cybersecurity students, we welcome anyone from any major or background!
