CCERO serves as a connector between academia, industry, schools, government, and communities.
Our outreach programs make cybersecurity knowledge more accessible while creating opportunities for students and faculty to engage with real-world cybersecurity challenges.
CCERO's signature annual event brings together researchers, students, cybersecurity professionals, industry leaders, government representatives, and community stakeholders to explore emerging cybersecurity challenges and solutions.
The strategic vision is to grow the Symposium from an annual campus event into a nationally visible flagship event by 2030.
A recurring series connecting the university community with cybersecurity practitioners, alumni, researchers, and technology leaders.
Talks and tutorials emphasize emerging technologies, practical cybersecurity challenges, career pathways, and lessons from the field.
CCERO will introduce younger learners to cybersecurity through:
K–12 cybersecurity camps, hands-on activities, competitions, school partnerships, and eventually a statewide cybersecurity challenge.
The plan progresses from establishing partnerships and a pilot Cyber Camp to a statewide K–12 cyber challenge.
CCERO will develop cybersecurity awareness and educational programs designed to help communities better understand cyber risks and practical approaches to protecting people, organizations, and information.
