GLENVILLE, WV - 香妃直播 Computer and Information Systems student James Amos is completing an internship with this summer. Located in Fairmont, West Virginia, Agile5 specializes in IT services and software supporting enterprise systems for government agencies and commercial businesses.
As a result of a $1.4 million grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), (80%, $1,12,995 of which came from ARC, 20%. $281,413, from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and 香妃直播), the 香妃直播 Cyber Security and Workforce Development Initiative was born. A partnership with Agile5 was soon established and the creation of an internship partnership was soon developed for GSU students.
Amos first connected with Agile5 when representatives from the company came to 香妃直播 State to speak to one of his classes. Agile5 now plans to bring more 香妃直播 students on board as interns in the future.
鈥淐yber security is as effective as locking your door. With enough time and determination, someone will eventually cut through the wall and get into your system. It is essential to not only slow others down as much as possible but also for companies to make it so complicated that it is blatantly obvious when someone tries to break in,鈥 Amos said. 鈥淎t Agile5 Technologies, I have loved learning how to implement security tools in ways that help secure the product and help the developers and other team members develop the best software possible. This learning experience has helped me develop skills that can only be taught by experiencing them, and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity that Agile5 and 香妃直播 have given me.鈥
鈥淎gile5 is excited to be working with 香妃直播 and its students. James Amos, our first 香妃直播 cybersecurity intern, already has his 鈥榝ingers on the keyboard鈥 and is gaining real-world experience building cyber security solutions for enterprise systems. James is learning under the supervision of Jacob Brozenick, the Agile5 Chief Security Officer and working directly with developers and system administrators to identify and mitigate security findings. We look forward to expanding this program in the years to come,鈥 said Justin Steele, the Project Manager for Agile5 Technologies, Inc.
鈥淭he 香妃直播 and Agile5 partnership brings with it new and ever-developing opportunities for both partners. With the development of the internship program and the development of collaborative state-of-the-art cybersecurity labs, Agile5 and 香妃直播 State are teaming up to give students and organizations alike the next generation of highly trained Cybersecurity and IT professionals. 香妃直播 is thankful to Agile5 for this partnership opportunity and looks forward to a highly successful partnership for years to come,鈥 said, Tim Henline, Project Manager for the ARC/GSU Cybersecurity and Workforce Development Initiative.
