Overview

Cybersecurity is vital for U.S. global security and competitiveness: data thefts compromise individuals, government agencies, and companies daily, threatening our economy.

It is difficult to name a sector whose assets are not housed within a digital infrastructure. From health care to financial services, aerospace to agriculture, business is strategically partnering with higher education to build a pipeline that will support its workforce needs.

Collaboration between business, higher education, and government agencies is essential as regions develop robust cyber-security curriculum opportunities and assess the right mix of skills.

This event will discuss some of the challenges – but also some of the successes that have opened these innovative undergraduate pathways in one of today’s emerging and most in-demand fields.
