CCI Impact Award 2023
Recognizing Significant Work
The CCI Impact Award recognizes an individual, team, group, or organization who, through their CCI activities, conducted breakthrough cybersecurity research or innovation or developed a creative way to improve cybersecurity workforce opportunities for our industry partners and students.
The impact can be regional, but optimally, is felt statewide or nationally, through such measures as economic metrics, professional standards or publications, or media attention.
The award will be presented at the annual CCI Symposium April 17-18, 2023, in Richmond, Va.
Nominations for the award for 2023 are closed.
