Center), an economic and education development engine in

talent gap by collaborating with industry and government partners

table-top exercises, and assess team members or potential
candidates on their skills and areas of expertise. Part of the
initiative also includes events, panel discussions, networking and
opportunities.

the world and cybersecurity is no exception. South Florida needs a "go to" resource capable
of adapting to changing trends in cybersecurity training," said

observation seats. It has its own data room, separate from any
existing networks, and includes a video wall, secured access, and a
