ECOSYSTEM STORIES

TAC : Trusted by the Cyber Community

"Allow me to brag about the Technology Advancement Center (TAC), a cybersecurity gem nestled just outside of DC in Maryland. From Maritime Ports to Railroads and now Airports: if you operate, defend, or otherwise care about converging IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operations Technology) systems and their implication to national security you should check the TAC out."
Arun Seelagen
Senior Data Scientist Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

"WVU is excited to launch TAC’s world class OT Bootcamp as an online course. As government and industry are in urgent need of cybersecurity professionals who understand the systems that keep our power grids, factories, and transportation networks running, this joint offering will prepare those defenders to safeguard the technologies that drive our world."
Bill Walker
Executive Director, National Security and Cyberspace Programs West Virginia University
Training
“The hands-on components of TAC’s courses are invaluable to students and the way the individual modules are presented are appropriate for those who lack experience as well as those with vast expertise. As the coach of the UMGC Cyber team who, along with my students, participated in the immersive training, I highly recommend.”

Collegiate Associate Professor; Coach and Captain of the the UMGC Cyber Competition Team

"I wanted to take the time to reach out and express how thankful I am for all of your help on Junior Interview Day! I have had multiple teachers and tons of students come up to myself and other counselors talking about how much they enjoyed the day and their experience at TAC. I believe the students left on Tuesday with some fantastic takeaways and an experience that will be meaningful to them entering their postsecondary adventures."
