Georgia Cybersecurity and Privacy Roadmap
The GCRT Taskforce is creating a playbook for the entire Georgia education ecosystem to be used as a strategic guide for cybersecurity and privacy education.
Georgia is a leader in the cybersecurity field, home to flourishing industries in multiple regions and headquarters for companies in priority sectors, such as healthcare, fintech, agriculture, the U.S. Department of Defense, and others.
Nationally recognized cybersecurity and privacy firms call metro Atlanta home, and across the state are countless startups and businesses offering cybersecurity and privacy solutions or providing them as part of other services.
Georgia’s current cybersecurity workforce includes more than 32,000 professionals, but there are 17,000 jobs, or a full one-third, of the total available in the state that are unfilled.
The Georgia Cybersecurity and Privacy Roadmap Taskforce is a group of education experts working with industry and government officials to understand the needs of Georgia’s education system and provide a guide to fill the workforce gap by recommending a strategy for cyber education programs and training for students and working professionals.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are open to the public and designed to engage stakeholders and spark conversations in order to inform a strategic action plan and playbook that can be implemented collaboratively across public and private education systems, including K-12, technical colleges, and university programs.
