Messiah University is excited to announce the creation of the Messiah University Cyber Center, slated to open fall 2022 in Frey Hall. A complement to the cybersecurity major at Messiah, the new Cyber Center will be a hub for cybersecurity students, regional professionals and local industries to meet for education and consulting services.

The creation of the Cyber Center is a key piece of Messiah’s pursuit in becoming designated as a NSA Center for Academic Excellence – Cybersecurity Defense Education (CAE-CDE), a distinctive hallmark of excellence for cybersecurity education. Messiah is currently in the program management phase of the program.

“The Cyber Center at Messiah University will focus on improving the education and training of future cyber defense professionals,” said Vinny Sakore, director of cybersecurity information at Messiah. “It will enhance the capabilities of educational, private and governmental sectors through training, education, services and outreach.”

Experiential learning is one of the pillars of a Messiah University education. During a student’s final two years at Messiah, they will use the fully equipped Cyber Center to perform real-world, hands-on work by providing security monitoring, digital forensics and data recovery services to local and regional businesses. Those businesses will have the opportunity to receive affordable and reliable security services while helping to build future cybersecurity professionals.
