Students in cybersecurity computer lab

The cybersecurity program also gives students extensive experience using industry-standard tools in modern cybersecurity labs. Located on the fifth floor of the Jenkins Technology Building, four cutting-edge cybersecurity computer labs include a cyber range and a security operations center (SOC). The cyber range hosts prebuilt cybersecurity tools and virtual environments, and the SOC is a dedicated environment to monitor network traffic and detect and respond to security incidents.

The dedicated cybersecurity server is independent from the University's network. It is equipped with a next-generation firewall, advanced technology in URL filtering, malware detection and threat prevention. Moreover, with capabilities like built-in cameras and microphones, a 23-foot video wall, and the ability to broadcast to all cybersecurity labs, the SOC hosts workshops, competitions and similar events.
