Information Technology Director Upgrades Credentials By: Orange County Communications Department Orange County would like to congratulate our Information Technology Director, Larry Clement, on completing his Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity from West Virginia University! Larry has worked for Orange County since January 2010. During his tenure he was witnessed significant technological advancements, and has been directly engaged in the evolving landscape of how local governments utilize those technologies. One of the most dynamic fields in the industry is cybersecurity. Unfortunately, criminals have kept pace as technology has continued to advance. Digitally-based schemes for committing fraud and stealing information continue to challenge individuals, businesses, and organizations.

It was with this challenge in mind that Larry decided to pursue his Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity. “Cybersecurity has always been an area that interested me. Cybersecurity offers a chance to work on cutting-edge technology, solve complex problems, and make a meaningful impact by keeping people and systems safe,” said Larry. “As new threats emerge and legal\compliance requirements grow, there will be a need for more dedicated [cybersecurity] resources. I intend to use my degree to lead those efforts,” he added. Congratulations and keep up the good work, Larry!
