New center to bolster cybersecurity
October 28, 2024
Supported by a $1.5 million grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission, West Virginia University will house a first-of-its-kind center that will leverage student and faculty expertise to improve the cybersecurity and cyber-resilience of businesses across the Mountain State.
The Cyber-Resilience Resource Center will provide cybersecurity and cyber-resilience training and support to organizations throughout West Virginia, with a particular emphasis on small and medium-sized businesses, startups and critical infrastructure, said Chris Ramezan, executive director of the CRRC and assistant professor of cybersecurity at the WVU John Chambers College of Business and Economics.
