What Our Cybersecurity Education Partners Think
ManTech was unable to fill numerous positions because cybersecurity professionals were unable to pass the rigorous CISSP certification test. This put lucrative government contracts in jeopardy. We looked to university alliance programs, and Purdue Global was the only institution that offered dense content with practical connections and test-taking strategies.
