This summer, OmniSOC began its inaugural eight-week summer internship program, hosting 10 students from IU, Rutgers University, and University of Nebraska—Lincoln.
The internship program started on the Bloomington campus, where students spent four weeks becoming acquainted with operations at all levels. They finished out the experience at their home institutions, working with their local IT security professionals for the remaining four weeks.
For Casandra Begin, a recent Rutgers University graduate, the experience changed her future.
“Working with OmniSOC this summer has given me a new outlook on what direction I want to take my career,” she said. “Having this hands-on experience with cybersecurity gave me the understanding of how important it really is to protect the industry or company I decide to work in, so this internship has certainly given me an edge.”
