The\u00a0program\u00a0was\u00a0established\u00a0under the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act to accelerate the development of critical cyber operational skills for future civilian and military leaders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, AU\u00a0partnered\u00a0with Clark Atlanta University and Mississippi State University to create the Southeastern VICEROY Cyber Institute after receiving a $2 million award.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AU students listen as U.S. Army personnel explain equipment and cybersecurity operations during a tour at Fort Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>The event gave students an inside look at career pathways in cyber operations, defense and national security through site visits, tours and conversations with professionals already working in the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The experience comes at a critical time\u00a0as\u00a0there are an estimated 17,254 cybersecurity job openings\u00a0in Georgia,\u00a0highlighting a growing workforce need across government and industry sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Located in one of the country\u2019s premier cybersecurity hubs, Augusta offers students opportunities few universities can match. The city is home to the Georgia Cyber\u00a0Innovation &#038; Training\u00a0Center at Augusta University, as well as U.S. Army Cyber Command and the National Security Agency Georgia at Fort Gordon. Because of this proximity, AU\u00a0students are uniquely positioned to connect their education directly to federal workforce pipelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe VICEROY award enables our students access to the Department of Defense community that they would not normally have,\u201d said Michael\u00a0Nowatkowski, PhD, head of the Cyber Programs of Study at the School of Computer and Cyber Sciences&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jagwire.augusta.edu\/sccs-hosts-viceroy-cyber-workforce-experience\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SCCS\u00a0hosts VICEROY Cyber Workforce Experience\u00a0 \u2013 Jagwire https:\/\/jagwire.augusta.edu\/sccs-hosts-viceroy-cyber-workforce-experience\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-30 13:00:00 Source Domain: jagwire.augusta.edu&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":229262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/jagwire.augusta.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/DSC_0167-2-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-229261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229261"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229261"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229263,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229261\/revisions\/229263"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
