CyLab was created in October. It works closely with US-CERT, the cybersecurity coordinating body that works with the US Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Security Division, itself headed up by former Symantec executive Amit Yoran.

Symantec said its relationship with CyLab will give it access to research and technology generated by its staff, faculty and students. CyLab got a $750,000 government grant in November to fund research into whether diversity principles found in biological systems can be applied to software.
