Interview with Delisha Hodo, SANS Institute Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Chair & Senior Student Advisor  

Nowhere is the workforce skills gap more pronounced than in cybersecurity, as the U.S. continues to endure a severe cybersecurity workforce shortage amidst an onslaught of sophisticated attacks. This is exasperated by the lack of diversity in the field—according to research conducted by the Aspen Institute, only 22 percent of the cybersecurity workforce are BIPOC.   

Covering Black History Month, we speak to a SANS representative, Delisha Hodo, to discuss:   

- Her own personal experiences of entering the cyber field and challenges they faced   

- SANS recently announced a new nationwide initiative to provide access to cybersecurity training and certifications to historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) students and alumni.   #cisolife

The CMMC Center of Excellence ( cmmc-coe.org ) is an IT-AAC sponsored and hosted public – private partnership that will be the focal point for coordination, communication, and collaboration in support of entities seeking to achieve the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements, to improve and enhance the cybersecurity and overall security of the supply chain for the defense industrial base and the United States Department of Defense.  

The CMMC COE is forging a variety of partnerships, alliances, and affiliations committed to the mission of meeting the requirements of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification.  These engagements include industry groups and organizations; standards bodies; NGO’s; academic institutions and leaders; government entities; FFRDC’s; and more. The COE also serves in an industrial advisory capacity for the Congress and the Executive Branch.  

Through the various strategic engagements, the CMMC COE supports the entities seeking to achieve the appropriate level of certification mandated by the CMMC, so they remain eligible to participate in DoD acquisitions as a prime contractor; subcontractor; supplier; or vendors of information and communications technology products and services.
