The Puerto Rico Cybersecurity and AI Center of Excellence is a primary initiative of Raíces Cyber, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on building a skilled and diverse cybersecurity and AI workforce, particularly within the Hispanic/Latin American community. The project is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to:
Identify and develop new cyber defenders. Empower current and future cybersecurity leaders. Strengthen the security of communities and critical infrastructure. Its core work involves providing customized curricula, hands-on training (such as the CyberPros Program), and work-based learning to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry demands for professionals ranging from High School students to corporate executives.
