On Tuesday, April 26, the McNease Convention Center will host the inaugural Concho Valley Cybersecurity Roundup. The goal of this daylong seminar is to bring awareness to the community about cybersecurity threats by focusing on areas such as senior citizens, business and nonprofits, government and critical infrastructure, and education.
The City of San Angelo, Tom Green County, San Angelo ISD and Goodfellow Air Force Base have joined forces with Angelo State University and the University of Texas at San Antonio to expand upon this goal of enhancing cybersecurity in our community.
UTSA’s Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security received a grant from the National Security Agency and will be working with multiple communities, beginning with San Angelo, to improve cybersecurity awareness and education throughout our public school system, our local businesses, government and our higher academic institutions.
We will see the launch of a K-12 cybersecurity program that will incorporate cybersecurity into the curriculum. In addition, the collegiate outreach program will consist of initiatives such as National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition teams, certification training, outreach to area high schools and more.
The goal is for our city to be safe from the threats posed from the world of technology … we want citizens from all generations here to be able to thrive in this technology-driven age.
