Government Technology: (TNS) — Two years after Gov. John Hickenlooper unveiled a vision in his State of the State address to build a cybersecurity center in Colorado Springs, the dream became a reality Monday in a former satellite plant on North Nevada Avenue.
Hickenlooper's dream, however, came in a different form than the second-term executive first envisioned.
"As we see it, this center can be the country's foremost authority on cybersecurity research and development, training and education," Hickenlooper said in his Jan. 14, 2016, speech. He outlined an organization with a staff of about 100 that would help businesses, nonprofits and government agencies combat and recover from cyberattacks, teach public officials about cybersecurity and threats to their computer networks and conduct research into cybersecurity threats.
