Long Description
The rise in cyber-crimes has outpaced the knowledge base needed to provide the required counter measures. There is a growing need for cyber security careers within the geographic region. Much of this demand is fueled by the growing information technology (IT) industry, which is particularly strong in MD, DC, and VA because of the large federal infrastructure including intelligence and Department of Defense government agencies and related contractors. The State of Maryland is the national epicenter of federal cyber security activities and the home to:
The National Security Agency

The Intelligent Advanced Research Projects Activity

The National Institute of Standards

Defense Information Systems Agency headquarters

U.S. Cyber Command headquarters

Department of Defense expansions of the intelligence and communications responsibilities at Fort Meade and at Aberdeen Proving Ground through the BRAC initiatives
Maryland is the base for our nation's effort to defend and protect U.S. information networks.
