Center for Cyber Security

Ransomware, malware, phishing schemes, insider threats and other online dangers are an increasingly heavy burden on consumers, corporations and taxpayers. In addition to an information-sharing agreement with Alabama’s state government–which provides opportunities to exchange cyber security information, updates, best practices, vulnerabilities and threats–AUMCCS collaborates with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on their STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign. This initiative increases the understanding of cyber threats and empowers the American public to be safer and more secure online.

Another collaboration is with the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center. The mission of the MS-ISAC is to improve the overall cybersecurity posture of the nation’s state, local, tribal and territorial governments through focused cyber threat prevention, protection, response, and recovery.

The Center’s membership in CompTIA’s Academy program promotes certification and enhances student career opportunities. Research has shown that certified employees have superior communication skills and are better able to understand new or complex technologies.
