What is a Cybersecurity Clinic?

According to the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics (CCC):

“University-based cybersecurity clinics train students from diverse backgrounds and academic expertise to strengthen the digital defenses of non-profits, hospitals, municipalities, small businesses, and other under-resourced organizations in our communities, while also developing a talent pipeline for cyber civil defense.”

Our Mission

Our Cybersecurity Clinic's aims to raise organizational awareness of information security and privacy risks discovered from a student-led risk assessment so that incremental improvements are made in the client’s security policies and practices while students in turn gain real-world experience that contributes to a cyber security workforce.
