Amazing day @RICNews for the launch of @RIC_CyberInst! So impressed by the students & faculty as well as the incredible line-up of RI leaders—all clearly invested in its success. A true testament to the incredible leadership of @JimLangevin, the Institute’s Distinguished Chair.
Demand for cybersecurity experts is high, but the number of qualified professionals is low. In RI alone, there are 2,700 job openings in cybersecurity, nationwide >600,000.

“Having the right people w/ the right skills is arguably the most important thing.” @CISAJen speaking about #cybersecurity, but also perhaps about the leadership in this room that helped make @RIC_CyberInst happen! #RICNews
Despite the high demand for computer science and cybersecurity degree-holders, both fields remain predominantly white and male in the United States. @RICAlumni like Naomi Ruiz '21 are changing that.

There are >500,000 job openings in #CyberSecurity in this country & there aren't enough qualified people to fill them. We're working to change that w/ the new CyberSecurity minor starting next fall!
