Maryland is considered one of the most advanced and innovative states when it comes to cybersecurity. It offers several conferences and events every year meant for members of the information security community, both online and in-person.

With the rise of ransomware, DDoS attacks, and sophisticated malware attacks, Maryland is taking the necessary steps to ensure that its citizens’ data is secure and that their interactions over the Internet remain safe.

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County, is home to the Maryland Cybersecurity Center (MC2), which was founded in 2014.

The MC2 focuses on research and education concerning cybersecurity. Additionally, the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education (MBRT) has developed and implemented a world-class curriculum for cybersecurity to be used in secondary schools across the state.

Most major metropolitan areas in Maryland host conferences and other events related to cybersecurity every year. Baltimore, for example, is home to the highly anticipated annual Security Analyst Summit (SANS).

This event provides in-depth security training and attracts security professionals from around the world. Other events include the Baltimore InfoSec Summit and the Maryland Information Security & Privacy Day Conference held annually in Hunt Valley.

The state also offers numerous initiatives related to cybersecurity. The Maryland Cybersecurity Council was formed in July 2016 to develop strategies to strengthen and protect the state’s cyber infrastructure from threats. Additionally, the Maryland Cyber Challenge is a program designed to encourage students to explore the field of information security. It offers students an immersive experience that includes online competitions, training modules, and hands-on instruction.

The State of Maryland is committed to ensuring that its citizens can use the Internet and share sensitive information safely and securely. With its many conferences, events, initiatives, and organizations, it is clear that Maryland is on the leading edge of cybersecurity.
