◢ Site Maintainer

This site is developed and maintained by Prof. Lewis Heuermann, Department of Computer Science at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi.

"Security ideas are only useful if they survive contact with reality."

Prof. Heuermann's research focuses on practical Zero Trust implementations, network defense and telemetry, and hands-on lab design where students investigate, adapt, and develop real instincts. Teaching is not separate from research—it's where clean frameworks meet messy reality.
