We don't have a Cyber Security problem. We have a Cyber Skills opportunity.

We are embarking on a new horizon in technology where Cyber Security will be paramount in all private and public organization’s strategy to determine how to best leverage new technologies like Generative AI, ChatGPT, Quantum with competing platforms and messaging to drive adoption. As we look at technology challenges and opportunities and prioritize Cyber Security as a core skillset across every industry and academic institution from middle school to post-graduate level in the State of Connecticut, we are excited to partner with iQ4 in preparing students, employees, and organizational partners for a pivotal digital transformation.

As we celebrate the progress we’re making together in Connecticut and stay committed to integrate Cyber Security as a core skillset across every industry and academic institution,“We are grateful for iQ4’s support. We are building upon our longstanding collaboration with iQ4 and the Cybersecurity Workforce Alliance, CT Technology Council, UCONN, and Connecticut-based companies to harness state-of-the-art technology solutions to train the next-gen workforce in Cyber Security,” said Carol Thorney,CT Technology Council, Board of Directors, and Founder & CEO of Thorney Advisors. “Our new Connecticut CyberHub will benefit the Capital Region, the City of Stamford, and the State of Connecticut by dramatically enhancing our area’s cybersecurity capabilities. We look forward to working with our partners in the region to transform the Connecticut Valley into ‘Cyber Security Valley’.”

“I am extremely excited to support the Connecticut CyberHub as it makes this important pivot,” said Thorney. “This investment will keep Cyber Security at the forefront of technology and innovation, as well as lead Connecticut in leveraging this powerful technology for the good of our State.”
