LAS VEGAS (FOX5) \u2014 Online learning platforms across Nevada are back up after a global cybersecurity incident took Canvas offline.Canvas services came back online Friday morning for UNLV, Clark County School District, NSHE and other Nevada schools after an outage that started Thursday afternoon.MORE ON FOX5: Canvas restored for CCSD, UNLV, NSHE after global cybersecurity incidentUNLV cybersecurity institute addresses threatsThe hack comes after UNLV implemented its own cybersecurity institute earlier this year called Nevada Institute of Cybersecurity (NIC).UNLV says recent data shows the state is filling only about 71% of its open cybersecurity jobs, slightly behind the national average.Through this institute, students get hands-on learning experience combing through vulnerabilities businesses could have when it comes to their cybersecurity.\u201cStudents do bug hunting where you go into a company\u2019s website and applications and try to find bugs there and report it to the website,\u201d said Austin Choy, a student. \u201cStudents having the opportunity to be able to participate in different organizations and get hands on experience outside the classroom is the biggest way they are going to learn anything in cybersecurity,\u201dJuyeon Jo, founding executive director, said cybersecurity protects economy, jobs and critical infrastructure.\u201cThe mission of the NIC is to strengthen Nevada\u2019s economy and provide workforce infrastructure,\u201d Jo said.Associate Director Yoohwan Kim said the recent Canvas cyber attack is proof that \u201cno one is immune\u201d to cyber attacks and Nevada is vulnerable for a variety of reasons.\u201cIt\u2019s overall an awareness issue. Cyber attack is not a technical problem, it\u2019s cultural. So I think we are a little bit behind to make cultural shifts,\u201d Kim said.The professors say they are also looking into adding courses about cybersecurity and how artificial intelligence could play a role.Copyright 2026 KVVU.
