The public-private partnership, launched in 2012, is a collaborative center where industry organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions work together to address our nation’s most pressing cybersecurity issues. The program facilitates the creation of practical cybersecurity solutions for specific industries and cross-sector technology challenges, and aims to deliver real-world, standards-based cybersecurity capabilities to address the needs of America’s business community.
“Cyber threats are an imminent threat to America’s national security,” said Rob Cheng, CEO and Founder of PC Matic. “As threats continue to increase in complexity and frequency, partnerships such as this, to which PC Matic is honored to be a part of, are invaluable tools in our efforts to thwart these modern-day threats.”
