The Home Stretch - Public Housing broadband grant program is designed to assist in digital equity and inclusion efforts in Maryland.

We are very disappointed. The United States, the country that funded the early development of the Internet, is now considering policies that would fracture it into pieces. This is part of a larger disturbing trend where governments directly interfere with the Internet, attempting to score short-term political points without regard to the long-term damage that results.
Having a government dictate how networks interconnect according to political considerations rather than technical considerations, runs contrary to the very idea of the Internet. Such interventions will significantly impact the agility, resiliency and flexibility of the Internet.
If this approach were to spread further, the ability of the Internet to bring the broader benefits of collaboration, global reach, and economic growth will be significantly threatened.
The Academic Partner Program works with academic institutions to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive cybersecurity workforce. It bridges the gap between learning and careers through access to industry-recognized Fortinet NSE training and certification courses. The Academic Partner Program collaborates with highest education institutions and schools around the world to help learners become part of an elite group of skilled cybersecurity professionals.
Congratulations to the winners of our 2024 Academic Partner awards. We want to recognize and celebrate all the institutions and individuals making a significant impact in helping learners gain the skills and knowledge needed to successfully join the cybersecurity workforce. Students are also recognized for their outstanding efforts related to cybersecurity learning opportunities, ranging from achieving NSE certifications to pursuing additional education to advance their cybersecurity acumen.
Authorized Academic Partners can integrate Training Institute certification directly into their existing courses or can facilitate the content as stand-alone continuing education. To supplement the course content institutions use Fortinet network security technologies to give students a hands-on lab experience.
Through the Academic Partner Program, institutions provide leading industry cybersecurity training and certification. Graduates of the program leave with in-demand cybersecurity skills to help protect networks from global cyber threats, such as phishing attacks, ransomware, and business email compromise (BEC). The program can be taught for pure skill and career development or with the goal of each graduate becoming Fortinet NSE-Certified. Free exam vouchers are provided to students.
Aligned to the National Initiative in Cyber Education (NICE), Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, the Education Pathways map NSE training content to NICE work roles. Mapping the content to roles helps Authorized Academic Partners better understand how and where NSE training can be integrated into their courses and curricula. And learners will understand how the courses they are taking today can transition into a cybersecurity career in the future.
