How We Started

The National Cybersecurity Center was established in 2016 by Colorado House Bill 16-1453, signed by then-Governor John Hickenlooper, to combat a surge in cyber-attacks against public, private, and nonprofit entities, as well as individuals. 

These challenges still hold true today and the National Cybersecurity Center itself has grown into a thriving hub of cyber leadership, collaboration, and education.
