With the suspected Russian hacking attack uncovered this week and posing a threat to the U.S. government and thousands of businesses, Cal State Fullerton is on the forefront of preparing students for careers as cybersecurity professionals to prevent such critical security vulnerabilities to computer systems, networks and programs.
One of the ways CSUF is leading this charge is through students participating in collegiate competitions that focus on fictional cyberattack scenarios and how to improve the security of an organization.
After spending nine hours attempting to hack into a fictional water and power plant, a team of Titan cybersecurity students successfully cyberattacked the system to qualify for a spot in January’s National Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition.
