NORTHFIELD, Vt. (WCAX) – A Vermont university is celebrating funding to tout tech.
Norwich University will get $250,000 in federal funding to support the schools’ work to advance cybersecurity innovation.
The money will support the Norwich University Applied Research Institutes and their work to advance cybersecurity research and innovation. It will be used to bolster domestic manufacturing and the development of technology designed to detect potential threats.
“Keeping manufacturers safe from cyberattacks is crucial to our national economic security. Supporting initiatives like NUARI’s innovative research to develop better cyber threat detection is vital to protecting our manufacturers and boosting industrial competitiveness,” Welch and Balint said in a joint statement.
The Democrats secured the funding through the Congressionally Directed Spending process.
