RESTON, VA / ACCESSWIRE / September 19, 2023 / CACI International Inc (NYSE:CACI) announced today that it has donated a flight simulator to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to teach and demonstrate the principles of cybersecurity to both high school students and more than 2,000 UAH students who are pursuing cyber-related degrees.
