Auburn University

Auburn University’s McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security aims to be a leading voice in cybersecurity policy, bridging the gap between research, industry, and top federal agencies such as the FBI, CIA, and DHS. With a mission to shape national security discussions across all infrastructure sectors, McCrary needed a website that reflected its authority and impact.

Kinetic partnered with McCrary to deliver a full-scale digital transformation—one that was not only visually polished and professional but also built to support the institute’s growing influence. The new site pays homage to their Auburn roots while allowing McCrary to branch out as a national entity. It enhances McCrary’s ability to disseminate critical research, provide expert insights, and engage with policymakers and the public. Our team focused on designing a platform that is both modern and highly functional, ensuring seamless access to McCrary’s wealth of cybersecurity resources.

Beyond aesthetics, the redesign prioritizes usability, accessibility, and content discoverability. Kinetic implemented a robust search functionality, allowing users to quickly find research papers, policy reports, and cybersecurity insights. A dynamic events calendar keeps visitors informed about upcoming discussions, conferences, and industry briefings, while social media integrations ensure seamless engagement with McCrary’s latest updates. The structured layout elevates key findings, making complex cybersecurity topics more digestible for policymakers, researchers, and the general public.

The result of this redesign is a sophisticated yet highly accessible website that positions McCrary at the forefront of cybersecurity policy. By blending cutting-edge design with intuitive functionality, Kinetic has created a platform that empowers McCrary to share its expertise more effectively than ever before.
