MISSION:

To educate students worldwide through a highly qualified faculty body while offering programs that stimulate the intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity needed in the international community. Our goal is to motivate our graduates to learn beyond the classroom limits and benefit from what the cybersecurity industry has to offer. We encourage students to take advantage of the academy’s location and explore the historical, professional, and cultural aspects of this region. CBA serves as a hub for cybersecurity skills development through its various offerings informed by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework.

We believe in the power of innovation to make the world safer. We’ve assembled a consortium of companies that understand existing and emerging threats are ever-expanding, and gaps continue to grow between the number of positions required to address these threats and the number of skilled workers available to fill these positions. Together, we‘re addressing these issues through research and innovation in new tools, methods, and approaches while simultaneously reducing the workforce requirements.
