The bowl game gives ReliaQuest the opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of cybersecurity and the career opportunities within the field, all while supporting our community and celebrating those who make it possible.
Cybersecurity is one of the greatest technical challenges of our generation, and ReliaQuest believes cybersecurity is a team sport. Much like in athletics, success in technology takes accountability, consistent focus and the willingness to get better over time.
Our goal is to continue to raise awareness of the importance of cybersecurity, to celebrate the commitment and excellence of the student athletes, coaches and their universities competing in this important game, and to highlight those who are making things possible in our communities.
Each team nominates one of their own teammates to receive the ReliaQuest “Make it Possible” award, given to the teammate who displays the attitude, energy, and effort necessary to help the team win without worrying about who gets the credit.
ReliaQuest is also proud to honor community partners during the game, who through youth education programs support their local communities. This includes volunteers from Think Big for Kids, a nonprofit that aims to bring youth out of poverty through career readiness and mentorship, and Junior Achievement, which works in partnership with educational systems to connect real-world skills with students’ curriculum.
The labs program, which ReliaQuest developed over the past decade, gives students hands-on experience with real-world cybersecurity scenarios and technologies to complement what they learn in the classroom. The ReliaQuest Bowl gives us the opportunity to expand the program to other universities across the country.
While we often hear about the shortage of skilled and trained cyber professionals, there is no shortage of people who would like to be trained and skilled in cybersecurity. It’s our responsibility as an industry to help close that gap.
