Students are earning real-world security experience while helping university IT teams combat network threats

Cybersecurity has been top-of-mind for university IT leaders and administrators as they strive to balance access with security and vigilance.

Now, many CIOs/CISOs have included students as part of the solution, creating student-run security operations centers (SOCs) that yield multiple benefits for their universities.
