A Raytheon Technologies business will serve as a founding sponsor of the US Cyber Games & Team led by woman-owned small business Katzcy in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education.
“We firmly believe in the importance of investing in the future of cybersecurity, and that future is people from all backgrounds. Everyone is welcome in cybersecurity,” Jon Check, executive director of cyber protection solutions at Raytheon Intelligence & Space, said in a statement published Thursday.
Check, who is also a member of the US Cyber Games Advisory Board, added that programs like the US Cyber Games are key to developing the talent that will help secure and defend the country from potential cyberattacks.
