Florida's burgeoning tech scene is getting a boost from Crespo AI, a product of Management & Business Care (MBC) Software, as it throws weight behind CyberLaunch, the state's premier high school cybersecurity competition. This underscores Crespo AI's commitment to cultivating the next wave of cybersecurity professionals and strengthening Florida's position as a leader in tech innovation.
With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, the demand for skilled cybersecurity experts has never been higher. A 2020 report from Cybersecurity Ventures predicts 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs globally by 2025, highlighting the urgent need for programs like CyberLaunch.
CyberLaunch provides high school students across Florida with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of cybersecurity. Through hands-on training, real-world simulations, and a state championship event, students gain practical experience and connect with industry professionals. The program offers different competition tracks catering to varying skill levels, ensuring all participants are challenged and engaged. Cyber Florida provides free resources and classroom activities, making cybersecurity education accessible to all students regardless of their background.
"Our support to Cyber Florida reflects our core belief in the power of technology and education," adds Jaglal. "By equipping students with these skills, we are preparing them for successful careers and empowering them to become leaders in the fight against cybercrime."
The
2025 CyberLaunch State Championship will take place
on April 4th at the Caribe Royale in Orlando. To learn more about the program or how to get involved, visit
