National Cybersecurity Center
The National Cybersecurity Center (NCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2016 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Its creation was initiated by Governor John Hickenlooper, in coordination with the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) and local community members. The NCC offers computer security education, training, and research programs for teachers, students, and other adults.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ed Rios led the organization from October 2016, to August 2017. Vance Brown became CEO in 2018. In 2020, Lieutenant General Harry D. Raduege Jr., from the United States Air Force (Ret.), became CEO. In August 2023, Scott Sage was named the new chief operations officer (COO), who had previously spearheaded the development of a new space cybersecurity market at Peraton Inc. Greg Oslan was named chairman of the board and CEO in 2025, replacing Raduege after his retirement.
The NCC provides cybersecurity schooling centered around K–12 education with the NCC Student Alliance (NCCSA) and the Adult Education Initiative.
The NCCSA is a student organization focused on cybersecurity education, providing cybersecurity career guidance and academic resources for students.
The NCC Cyber Force Initiative is designed to increase the number of cybersecurity professionals in the workforce and to increase the number of underrepresented groups in the cybersecurity workforce.
On April 8, 2019, the NCC announced a partnership with the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC), an Information Sharing and Analysis Center focused on space industry threats.
On February 25, 2021, Space ISAC declared that the organization had reached initial operating capability following the launch of Space ISAC’s member portal and its threat intelligence sharing platform, which allows commercial and international partners to share data concerning space-based threats.
Following a $5.4 million expansion, the Kevin W. O’Neil Cybersecurity Education and Research Center at UCCS houses the Space ISAC. It was the first all-threats security information source for the public and private space sector, operated by the NCC since its formation in 2019.
