UMBC Conducting Cybersecurity Survey
The Patuxent Partnership is publicizing a way that the region’s residents and business can help to shape the future of Southern Maryland. A cybersecurity survey is available now that will help to make decisions on future training and development opportunities in the region. A survey is being conducted by the University of Maryland Baltimore County Training Centers Cybersecurity Academy.
The academy is conducting research as a step toward developing a specialized cybersecurity academy, which can be tailored to the cybersecurity talent and training needs of the Southern Maryland region. The best participants for this survey are experts and hiring professionals who can help develop this opportunity in Southern Maryland.
