"Maryland Cyber Nonprofit to Create Centers of Excellence"

The Cybersecurity Association of Maryland, Inc. (CAMI), a nonprofit organization, has announced plans to expand its membership program and create multiple Centers of Excellence. CAMI's mission is to advance cybersecurity in Maryland through collaboration and advocacy. CAMI will do this by creating opportunities for companies in all industries to come together. In a statement released recently, CAMI stated that it will be expanding its membership qualifications to "companies across all verticals who view cybersecurity as a strategic initiative." In creating three new Centers of Excellence, the association aims to provide a forum through which Marylanders can share best security practices. The first center will be focused on business growth and innovation and will support members with raising capital, scaling operations, marketing, and mentorship. Center number two will be dedicated to working with organizations to close the cybersecurity talent gap. The final center will specialize in cyber resilience, providing knowledge and resources to members, including support with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certifications (CMMC), securing state, local and educational (SLED) agencies, and offering cyber-hygiene help for small and medium-sized businesses. CAMI was established in 2015 and is Maryland's only organization solely dedicated to the growth of Maryland's cybersecurity industry.
