08/26/2025
Education provider IronCircle plans to establish operations in Columbia, Maryland. The project is expected to create more than 200 jobs.

The company’s new approximately 12,000-square-foot global headquarters will be located in the Merriweather District.

“Maryland is at the epicenter of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence innovation, and Columbia offers the perfect environment for our team to grow, collaborate, and advance our mission. We are tapping into the nation’s top cyber minds and a deep pool of local talent,” said IronCircle Chief Executive Officer James C. Foster. “Our headquarters is a statement of our long-term commitment to workforce development, cutting-edge technology, and the communities we proudly serve and reside in.”

IronCircle is a cybersecurity training platform that leverages the power of artificial intelligence to simulate complex, real-world scenarios reflective of today’s evolving cybersecurity threats.

“IronCircle’s decision to open their new, global headquarters in Columbia affirms Maryland’s growing status as the cyber capital of America,” noted Governor Wes Moore. “By doubling-down on industries of the future like cyber and AI, our administration is growing Maryland’s economy and building new pathways to work, wages, and wealth for all. We are thrilled to partner with IronCircle in our work to make Maryland more competitive.”
