Laurel, MD., March 29, 2021: Capitol Technology University, a private, independent STEM-focused university offering both graduate and undergraduate degrees, announced today that it has been recognized as an Excellence Award finalist in the Best Cybersecurity Higher Education Program category for the 2021 SC Awards. Finalists are recognized for outstanding leadership and providing superior security products to the cybersecurity industry. Winners will be announced online during Awards Week beginning Monday, May 3, 2021.
“The last year tested security professionals perhaps more than any in history,” said Jill Aitoro, editor in chief of SC Media and editorial director at CyberRisk Alliance. “A pandemic forced a fast transition to remote working and inspired a wave of new, sophisticated attacks, and the impact of a supply chain breach reverberated across public and private sector. The ability for organizations big and small to turn to security partners to help address this mountain of unexpected risk was and remains critical. This year’s SC Awards finalists, all of which faced many of the same unprecedented challenges, proved their commitment to both customers and the community at large.”
Now in its 24th year, SC Awards is recognized as the industry gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products and services. Winners in the Excellence category are determined by an expert panel of judges with extensive knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity industry. The Excellence Awards honor the professionals, products and services that have proven to be the best in the industry for protecting today’s corporate world from an array of risks and threats.
“Cap Tech is privileged to again be nominated for such a prestigious award among such quality cybersecurity programs. Cap Tech answered the call to develop hands-on cybersecurity education 20 years ago and this nomination again recognizes excellence in our students, faculty, staff and visionary leadership,” said Dr. William Butler, Chair of Cyber and Information Security.
“Capitol Technology University and the other finalists for this year’s Excellence Awards understood the need to serve as true partners to the user community during times of unprecedented change,” said Aitoro. “No two entities, big or small, faced the same challenges. Those recognized this year understood that more than ever before, customized service was essential for meeting the needs of each and every customer. There could be no one size fits all.”
The 2021 SC Awards will feature an extended and expanded celebration, honoring finalists and winners through comprehensive promotion across SC Media’s full range of digital, social, and editorial channels. Industry anticipation will culminate in the kick-off of SC Awards Week on May 3, 2021.
