One of the nation’s fastest-growing industries is finding a fast foothold in Wichita. The city in the past year has attracted cybersecurity companies from both coasts, attracted by the cost and availability of talent, and the growth of industry resources locally. And with data security taking on heightened importance in the post-pandemic age of remote work and differentiating resources already in play, local stakeholders see the industry as potentially emerging as one of Wichita’s best opportunities at economic diversification. “I think there has been a lot more awareness around it and intentionality (in attracting the industry),” says Adrienne Korson, director of economic development at the Greater Wichita Partnership. “We are getting better at learning what we have in our backyard.”
