Established in 2024 by the Maryland Association of Community Colleges and BCR Cyber, the CWA program provides cyber ranges—advanced simulation systems that mimic real-world cyberattacks—to all 16 of the state's community colleges.
Montgomery College students will now have access to the BCR Cyber Series 3000 Cyber Range, allowing them to train in a high-tech environment designed to build real-time cybersecurity skills.
The new system enables both students and faculty to simulate cyber incidents, respond to threats and gain hands-on experience in network defense and digital forensics. The training is expected to enhance curriculum development and prepare students for high-demand careers in information technology and cybersecurity.
