We are protecting West Virginia, together.

Cyber threats are not a matter of if, but when.

The Cyber-Resilience Resource Center helps enhance West Virginia’s security posture by making cybersecurity real, practical and within reach. We partner with West Virginia organizations, equipping them with the tools to stay ahead of cyber threats and to maintain operations even in the event of a breach. We also help students gain in-the-field training to lead in today's ever-evolving digital world.
