Panelists to discuss the new program, its evolution and how the state is building a resilient cybersecurity workforce pipeline
COLUMBIA, Md., (November 26, 2024) — TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announces the “Building a Pipeline to Protect Our Digital Infrastructure: The Cyber Maryland Program and its Evolution” panel to take place at the upcoming 2024 Entrepreneur Expo. The tenth iteration of this event will be taking place at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel on December 4, 2024.
Serving as the epicenter for cybersecurity—as highlighted in a recent study—developing, retaining and attracting cybersecurity talent in Maryland is of the upmost importance to keeping the nation’s digital networks safe. Understanding this critical mission, the Maryland General Assembly created the Cyber Maryland Program. This informative panel seeks to dive into the program’s creation, its continued evolution and the progress towards building a more resilient cyber workforce pipeline in the state.
“As cybersecurity continues to grow into an essential part of every industry, developing a workforce pipeline to address the ever expanding needs is important now, more than ever,” said Alex Choi, panel moderator and executive director, government program development, affairs & research at TEDCO. “Each panelist has had a significant role in advancing the Cyber Maryland program and ultimately ensuring the development of a nimble and resilient pipeline of talent in cybersecurity; we are honored to have this distinguished group of panelists engage in a conversation on this increasingly important topic.”
