CyberWyoming rebranded its 'Made Safe' microbusiness cybersecurity training as CyberUSA, expanding a free, modular training model that schools could adapt for staff microlearning. The relaunch signals more public‑sector training options that districts can plug into existing professional development slots. (wyomingnews.com)
CyberWyoming confirmed the Made Safe curriculum will now be presented under the national CyberUSA umbrella, linking the program to CyberUSA’s training catalog and affiliate network. ( wyomingnews.com ) The Made Safe model remains a 7–9 month, one‑on‑one counseling program that delivers a right‑sized cyber risk score and a measurable risk reduction—past participants cut average risk scores by roughly 70%. ( cyberwyoming.org ) Program materials frame a “microbusiness” as fewer than 10–15 computers, no servers, heavy cloud reliance, and a recommended participant time commitment of about 4–6 hours per month. ( cyberusa.us ) CyberWyoming formalized the train‑the‑trainer pathway after winning a 2022 GulaTech grant and now certifies Cybersecurity Business Counselors (CBCs) via an online portal and a registered apprenticeship model tied to the U.S. Department of Labor. ( nacce.com ) An Alumni Club launched in October 2025 provides graduates an annual one‑on‑one maintenance session, quarterly meetings, and one free personalized CBC session to sustain security plans and updated cyber scores. ( cyberwyoming.org ) CyberUSA’s training page lists Made Safe as tailored for organizations with no servers and limited IT support and notes optional government‑contract readiness guidance for participants pursuing higher compliance.
