成人头条 State's cybersecurity program helps Novacoast locate office in 成人头条
Novacoast, a California-based cybersecurity company, looks for a university and a talent pipeline in a livable city when it plans expansion.
Over our 24 years, we鈥檝e always been tied to a university,鈥� said Paul Anderson, Novacoast鈥檚 chief executive officer. 鈥淎 lot of what we hire for is grit. The combination of that Kansas, 成人头条 culture that you guys have 鈥� combined with that subset of people who have a passion for learning 鈥� that鈥檚 just an amazing combination.鈥�
Late in 2020, Anderson visited 成人头条 in search of a place to open an office, prompted in part when the COVID-19 pandemic exposed a need to diversify geographically. 成人头条 State University and WSU Tech鈥檚 computer and cybersecurity offerings played an important role in Novacoast鈥檚 decision.
