Cybersecurity is a very real problem in our society. Although there is a wealth of information about it available in a multitude of places, the information does not reach those who are most vulnerable. New threats continue to challenge information security professionals; however, tools exist that can reduce the risk to the majority of the population. What is needed is an effective mechanism to disseminate up-to-date information to the stakeholders in a timely manner. We believe that community colleges offer a unique opportunity to be the catalyst to such an endeavor. This paper provides concrete examples of the manner in which faculty at The University of Texas at Austin (UTA) and Queensborough Community College (QCC) collaborated to assess how the STOP.THINK. CONNECT. (2016) model can be implemented at community colleges. The article will focus on the development of the relationship, aspects of the model, reflections on the cross-disciplinary outcomes, and results as a means for others to increase the engagement of underrepresented populations in the cybersecurity workforce.
