CyberTrust Massachusetts

Our #MassCyberEcosystem is growing! #CyberTrustMA is excited to welcome Simmons University as one of our newest members! Like several of our other member institutions, #Simmons has been designated as a Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) in Cybersecurity Education by the National Security Agency and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. We are excited to support the faculty and students in their #IT and #Cybersecurity program! To learn more about how your institution can become a member, get in touch with Meghan Martinez, GCIH, GCFA, GCLD, CISSP! #cyber #cyberprograms #cybercareers #cyberjobs #skillsbasedlearning #cyberinternships #cyberesiliency #cybercenterofexcellence

It is with immense gratitude that #CyberTrustMA thanks one of our #employerpartners, Wolf & Company, P.C., for hosting our learners at their #Boston office for "If I Could Do It Again: What I Wish I Knew about a Career in InfoSec." Our learners got to hear from CEO, Jerry Gagne, CPA CISA, #DenSecure Senior Manager, Sean D. Goodwin, DenSecure Manager, Joe Sarkisian, and Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition, Michelle T., as they shared their respective experiences and expertise through great presentations and post-event networking. We appreciate each and every one of them (and the folks behind the scenes who set up the event) for sharing their time, talent, and snacks with us and learning more about the amazing individuals that make up the CyberTrust ecosystem. Learners throughout the various #cyber programs throughout the #Commonwealth don't often get the opportunity to network with current professionals in a low-stakes atmosphere, and it was great to witness some great conversations happen! You could feel the excitement as learners left with even more skills and tools to help them establish their foothold in the #cybersecurity industry. We couldn't do this work without the support of partners like Wolf & Company, P.C.! Interested in learning how you could support our mission?

🎉 We are proud of our #CyberTrustMA partner, Massachusetts Bay Community College, who was recently awarded their #NSA designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in #cyberdefense! While this is always a significant achievement for any academic institution, we want to particularly celebrate their status as only the third #communitycollege in New England to be awarded this designation. Congratulations #MBCC! #MassCyberEcosystem #cybercenterofexcellence #cyber #cybersecurity #experientallearning #cyberjobs #cyberinternships #cybercareers #cyberreadiness

Robert Johnson's intellect and enthusiasm has always shined bright from Day 1. The work he has done as a #CyberTrustMA intern shows it! But did you know that in addition to building up our #cyberinterns #technicalskills, we also work with them on what we call their #powerskills: things like their 'polish,' building up their confidence, being comfortable talking about both themselves and the things they have learned. We hear from our employer partners that these are just as important; it's not always about knowing the answer, but about conveying what you do know and your approach to learning more. Stay with us as we start dropping real conversations with our interns about who they are, what they've been doing, and how they are ready to contribute to growing and maintaining the #cyberresiliency of your organization! Want to learn more about our internship program?

Our ultimate mission at #CyberTrustMA is to support a diverse and skilled #cybersecurity workforce. But what do we mean by skills? There's so many that are required to successfully navigate a professional environment! Stay tuned with us over the next few weeks as we showcase more details about our #cyberinternship program and the many benefits to our learners. Hear directly from our latest #cyber cohort on their experience and how the CyberTrust experience best prepares them to be your next high performing employee! #cybercareers #cyberworkforce #cyberjobs #workforcedevelopment #professionaldevelopment #skillsbasedhiring #MassCyberEcosystem

❤️ We are so grateful to the Healey-Driscoll administration for their continued support of #digitalliteracy, #cybersecurity, and #computerscience initiatives. There is so much work to do to strengthen the connections to, from, and between these educational pathways that additional funding and visibility only helps us to do more: 👩🎓 Hire more students 💻 Deepen their technical skillset 🏢 Meet the growing needs of industry 📣 Shout out to Brian Grier (and all of our #CyberTrust interns) for being such stellar representatives of the passion and potential in #cyber and specifically the mission we are driving here at CyberTrust. They hustle to secure their future, but they are always eager to give back and help others along the way. ❓ Are you an educational or training program with students like Brian who you think could benefit from being a part of our Consortium? ❓ Or maybe you are a company looking to get involved with a cutting-edge non-profit? 📨 Our DMs are open! #MassCyberEcosystem #skillsbasedtraining #highered #securitychampions #cybercareers #cyberinternships

Members of our first #cybersecurity #SOC #internship cohort are getting ready to move on! For some, like Tatyana Rodrigues, that means landing her first #cyber job! Are you ready to be a part of the next step in her journey? Want to learn more about the value that #CyberTrust interns bring to your organization? Get in touch! #MassCyberEcosystem #cyber #cybercareers #cyberjobs

🤝 We love strengthening the relationships between our #CyberTrust member institutions and their respective students. Our #SOC #internship is one way that CyberTrust students get to cross-pollinate, learning more not just about each other but about the programs they are going through. We believe this makes them more informed about the state of #cybersecurity education and better equips them to continue to give back throughout their #cyber career - building insight and empathy into educational and career challenges that may have been different from their own. ❤️ Thank you to Per Scholas Greater Boston for inviting our team to talk to your current cyber cohort! We appreciate the importance of having one of your own graduates share their story, but also in the opportunity it gives our other students to connect with folks they will work alongside of in the future. 📣 Shout out to Reena, Thomas Rose and Brian Grier, current CyberTrust interns, for taking time out of their schedules to head into Boston! And as always, if you want to learn more about the SOC Internship we have here at CyberTrust, slide into our DMs or reach out to Sam Porcello, SHRM-CP directly! #MassCyberEcosystem #cyberinternships #cyberjobs #professionaldevelopment #workforcedevelopment #skillsbasedtraining #cyberresiliency #cybercareers

💙 Our students have a passion for learning - both inside and outside of the 'classroom'! ☎ Got any tips for Brian Grier as he tackles building his own HIDS?
