Why industries are turning to Arizona for cyber security leadership
With rising cybersecurity threats, industry and government are frequently seeking out expertise to defend against cyber risks, which has brought more requests for skills found in Arizona’s leading tech companies and top universities. Arizona now ranks among the top 10 fastest-growing job markets for cybersecurity professionals, while its public universities are conducting high-level cybersecurity research. That includes the work of Adam Doupé, a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, a hub for advanced cybersecurity research supported by partnerships with the U.S. Department of Defense and major companies. Doupé and his colleagues have helped raise ASU to a ranking of 11 among all U.S. university for cybersecurity research.
