MSU Denver's cybersecurity program will be able to add staff and resources to train more students as cybersecurity analysts.
DENVER — Metropolitan State University of Denver recently received a nearly $500,000 grant from the Colorado Attorney General to expand its cybersecurity program and train nearly 200 new security analysts over the next two years. It comes at a time when threats are on the rise.
Undergraduate computer science student Monica Ball said the threat landscape is growing with more devices connected to the internet, and developments in artificial intelligence. The growing threat means more demand for trained analysts. Kathryn Harris, president of the non-profit Activate Work said her organization partners with MSU for a tuition free bootcamp in cybersecurity.
The Activate Work bootcamp serves a group largely made up of students of color. 30 percent of the students are women. MSU undergraduate student Monica Ball said it’s important to bring people with diverse backgrounds into the cybersecurity industry.
