CyberSEED in the Media and Social Media

Posted on by

Print, television and online news media came to UConn last week to cover the first-ever CyberSEED Cybersecurity, Education & Diversity Challenge, an event that brought together talks from cybersecurity experts and three cybersecurity competitions.

The Hartford Courant focused on the labor shortage in cybersecurity:

“We just have not been training enough people to man the defenses of every business at work, every government at work, every military mission,” said Cheri Caddy, director of cybersecurity policy integration and outreach at the White House. “We need to do more.”
