Sam Williams uses the word “dynamic” to describe his new Action Guard Project. But the adjective could easily be used to characterize the visionary Radford University cybersecurity major himself.
In 2023, Williams secured a $5,000 grant from the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative. The award has allowed the senior from Rock Hill, South Carolina, to venture into entrepreneurship, starting a cybersecurity consulting firm – “a dynamic initiative,” he said, “focused on narrowing the gap between cybersecurity education and its practical application.”
Fellow Radford students are working with Williams on what “at its core,” he explained, “is about empowering students while simultaneously offering vital cybersecurity services to local businesses, completely free of charge.”
