A California-based cybersecurity company is relocating to Kansas. Governor Laura Kelly says Novacoast is moving its corporate headquarters to Wichita from Santa Barbara. The company plans to bring 100 new high-tech jobs to the state and help make Wichita a center for cybersecurity training.

Kelly says more and more companies are choosing to come to our state because they’ve seen that our talented workforce, strong infrastructure, and pro-business climate will help them grow and succeed. In February, Novacoast opened a 9,700 square-foot Security Operations Center in downtown Wichita, employing approximately 40 employees in sales, software development, and cybersecurity engineering. Novacoast has built recruiting relationships with the Air National Guard at McConnell Air Force Base and with education partners like Wichita State University, Friends University and Butler Community College.
