September 13, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio State University College of Engineering: The Ohio State University College of Engineering is excited to share a new, useful, free online cybersecurity training resource and wants to get the word out to Ohio small businesses. The Ohio State University’s Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence has received a competitive federal grant to provide free cybersecurity training for small businesses in Ohio. The program aligns with several federal and state of Ohio initiatives to help raise the cybersecurity posture of Ohio’s nearly 1 million small businesses. The modules offered help to ensure that Ohio continues to be a vital part of the manufacturing supply chain by offering free educational services based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework that can be used by small businesses to help them show compliance with the Ohio Data Protection Act. The program provides complementary services to expand the existing outreach by the Ohio Cyber Range Institute and the Ohio Cyber Collaboration Committee for critical infrastructure and local government.
