Southwest is now a member of the National Cyber Watch Center, a consortium of higher education institutions, public and private schools, individual cybersecurity practitioners, businesses, and government agencies focused on collaborative efforts to advance cybersecurity education and strengthen the national cybersecurity workforce.
Business and Technologies Department Chair Dr. Aaron Jagers welcomes the opportunity to network and collaborate with the center’s stakeholders. “The CyberWatch center is a leader in cybersecurity education and workforce development,” said Jagers. “This online membership site will not only enhance communication among our cybersecurity membership regarding grant opportunities, webinars, news and blogs, but also will support collaboration between our national and international member schools.”
According to Jagers, Southwest’s roles will include advocating for cybersecurity education programs, building cybersecurity education and workforce development programs, collaborating with educational institutions, businesses, government entities and professional organizations, and coordinating collaborative cybersecurity education, assessment, and research programs.
