In an effort to advance and secure Utah’s emerging technology sector, the Utah Legislature has funded an initiative that partners Utah State University (USU) and Utah Valley University (UVU) with leading local industry partners to produce students who are trained to anticipate both opportunities and emerging security challenges in the technology sector. The Deep Technology Talent Initiative (DTTI) recently awarded $5,013,900 to the Intermountain Intelligence, Industry, and Security Consortium (I3SC), a university-industry partnership led by UVU’s Center for National Security Studies and USU’s Center for Anticipatory Intelligence. With the appropriation, the I3SC will create a multifaceted academic pipeline program available to students at both institutions. These students will obtain cross-disciplinary credentials preparing them to work in Utah’s tech sector as innovators able to think through the full range of complexity about potential security challenges. Program offerings will be coordinated, complementary, and stackable across both UVU and USU. The areas of study include secure computing, artificial intelligence, security analytics, cybersecurity, anticipatory intelligence, and security studies.
