The Massachusetts cyber sector is large and growing but the talent pipeline of skilled, experienced, and diverse candidates can’t keep pace. At the same time, many local governments, non-profits, and small businesses are underresourced against growing cyber threats.

Creating Opportunities
Offering students and workers at all career stages, from all backgrounds statewide, access to advanced cyber education and training programs linked to cyber employers.
Growing the Workforce
Increasing the pipeline of skilled, experienced, inclusive, and diverse cyber candidates via hands-on, experiential learning environments.
Strengthening Security
Providing local governments, non-profits, and small businesses with affordable cybersecurity services to manage their defenses and combat growing cyber threats.
