“The Central Florida community, particularly the UCF area, is a great place to find the type of specialized talent we need for our type of work,” Garrett says. “When you add on the business services provided by UCF and the talent found within the UCF Digital Forensics program. whom recently won the Department of Energy’s CyberForce National Competition, it was a logical choice for our company.”
