If so, you’re going to find this episode quite interesting and enlightening.

Today’s guest is Chad Hardaway, deputy director of the University of South Carolina’s Office of Economic Engagement and a founding faculty member of the new Master's Program of Engineering Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the College of Engineering and Computing. The University of South Carolina Office of Economic Engagement created SC Cyber to be the central point of focus for academic, government and corporate collaboration in the area of cybersecurity.
