Cyberpreparedness Bill Takes Important Step Forward
Measure to regularize funding for five-university consortium including Norwich works way through Congress
A bill the U.S. Senate passed late last month could put Norwich University and the rest of a national cybersecurity consortium closer to receiving consistent annual federal contracts for developing a national cybersecurity training program for governments and private industry.
