  1. Develop 1,300 cybersecurity lessons, activities, competitions, games, and career resources
  2. Engage with 50,000 educators and caregivers and provide cybersecurity content to teach students
  3. Impact over 6 million students through teachers and caregivers
  4. Host 1,250 cybersecurity training events impacting 32,500 educators and caregivers

CYBER.ORG will continue to partner with the Biden-Harris Administration and CISA to bolster the U.S. cyber workforce, including the launch of the Investing in America workforce roadshow, which kicked off in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the upcoming year, CYBER.ORG plans to contribute to the enhancement of cybersecurity education for Nevadans by attending the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education Conference, in addition to efforts to expand cybersecurity resources nationwide.

By providing accessible, no-cost cybersecurity resources and curriculum to educators, caregivers, and students nationwide, CYBER.ORG is dedicated to solving the 660,000 U.S cybersecurity workforce shortage.
